 The single threshold interpretation of harm is also compatible with a second and stronger understanding of the no-difference view (Woodward 1986: sects. II and III; Parfit 1986: 856–859): there is no theoretical difference in harming possible future people and harming actual people since the very same reasons hold against harming either group. The disjunctive notion is clearly incompatible with the theoretical understanding of the no-difference view. According to the disjunctive notion it would often not be true that the same reasons hold against harming either such group. When we object to the harming of actual people we will often have additional reasons that reflect the fact that the subjunctive-historical notion of harm applies.
