McMahan 1981, p. 100: "Consider the view that, while the fact that a person's life would be worse than no life at all (or 'worth not living') constitutes a strong moral reason for not bringing him into existence, the fact that a person's life would be worth living provides no (or only a relatively weak) moral reason for bringing him into existence. This view, which I shall refer to as 'the Asymmetry,' is approved both by Narveson and by common sense." McMahan, Jefferson (1981). "Problems of Population Theory". Ethics. 92 (1): 96–127. doi:10.1086/292301.
