    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

    • 1.Misfortunes essentially involve badness-for-someone; unconscious stages cannot be subjects of experiential harm or deprivation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Locating misfortune at an unconscious temporal part generates absurdities: the entity doesn't realize the harm during that stage.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Only the temporally extended *person* (not isolated parts) is the proper subject of misfortune and wellbeing assessment.
