I care more about myself than future potential people.
More seriously, I value a diversity of minds, and if the future does too they may be glad to have us along.
Agree with "myself", disagree with "diversity of minds". If the future needs diversity, it has its random number generators and person templates. Additional argument: death is bad, life-creation is not morally reversible.
I don't know why I said "more seriously" when it's by far the less defensible argument.
