Many of us have the intuition that we are obligated\, when all else is equal\, to create the happier of two non-identical people\, if forced to choose between these options. In this paper\, I give an account of the difficulties involved in justifying this intuition. The &lsquo\;non-identity problem&rsquo\; is the problem of finding such a justification. Ultimately\, I argue that an adequate solution must appeal to conditional obligations. While making sense of conditional obligations itself presents theoretical difficulties\, I offer a tentative account sufficient for the purposes of solving the non-identity problem.
