Question

Bernard Williams argues that only internal versions of these things are valid, and that morality imposing external ones of these things onto a person is baseless.

These things are the first title entity in a work exploring the repugnant conclusion and the issue of non-identity; that work by Derek Parfit is titled for these things and persons.
