The extreme form of the argument ("don't worry about the future at all") isn't what I'm saying. It is also immoral to not consider the future.

But to put future lives on the same scale (as in to allow for the possibility of measuring one against the other) of current lives is immoral.

Future lives are important, but balancing them against current lives is immoral
