We propose that in quantum gravity one needs to impose a final state boundarycondition at black hole singularities. This resolves the apparent contradictionbetween string theory and semiclassical arguments over whether black holeevaporation is unitary.Comment: 17 pages, harvmac, 1 figure, v2: comment about interactions and references adde
