Abstract

Introduction
Is childhood good? Who benefits from childhood, and how? Are there goods that children experience or bring into existence which would not exist if we were to somehow eradicate childhood? Are children’s lives to be judged by the same or different standards from adults’? In this chapter I want to investigate these questions, but before I do, I wish
to first separate off some questions about the value of childhood from some questions about the value of new or additional people.
