It’s Just Allocation: an Application of Parfit’s Priority View

EasyChair Preprint 9560

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic brought to light ethically puzzling questions around the allocation of medical resources, and the appeal of the principle of utility. Thus, in this paper, I propose the use of Parfit’s Priority View and the principle of absolute urgency as an alternative to the principle of utility.

Keyphrases: ethics, moral theory, political theory
