If those lives will definitely exist then the choice that will be made regardless of the morality will be killing 500. Anyway, who decided more people in the world is a moral good? In my culturally constructed opinion, what matters is people that currently live, not whether or not people exist in the future (I would say the quality of people’s lives in the future might matter though).
