    Este artículo realiza una defensa de las axiologías centradas en el sufrimiento, que sostienen la prioridad de evitar el sufrimiento frente a la promoción de otros valores. Para ello, explica en primer lugar cómo ciertas cuestiones relativas a la creación de individuos sugieren la existencia de una asimetría entre el sufrimiento y la felicidad. Continúa describiendo un conjunto de argumentos a favor de la prioridad del sufrimiento relativos a individuos ya existentes. Asimismo, señala y responde a distintas objeciones que podrían ser dirigidas contra estas axiologías. Finalmente, concluye que las posiciones centradas en el sufrimiento no están todavía lo bastante exploradas y pueden tener un gran potencial

    This article makes a defence of the suffering-focused axiologies, which sustain the priority of avoiding suffering over the promotion of other values. To this end, it irst explains how certain questions concerning the creation of individuals suggest the existence of an asymmetry between suffering and happiness. It goes on to describe a set of arguments in favour of the priority of suffering relative to existing individuals. It also points out and responds to various objections that could be directed against these axiologies. Finally, it concludes that suffering-focused positions are not yet suficiently explored and may have great potential.
