I assume everyone is familiar with the following argument:
Premise: You are not indifferent about the utility of people who will come to exist, if they definitely will exist. Conclusion: You can't be in general indifferent between people existing and not existing.
World A: Person has 10 utility World B: Person does not exist World C: Person has 20 utility
By hypothesis, you're not indifferent between A and C. Hence by transitivity, you're not indifferent between both A,B and B,C.
