Interestingly, this perspective (which I also subscribe to, broadly speaking) resolves one of the core paradoxes with utilitarian philosophies - if you believe the moral value of existing has any positive value with respect to not existing, then you would have a moral obligation to have as many children as possible. This is resolved if you believe that existence is at least capable of having less "moral value" than non-existence for some life experiences.
