An Argument from Beneficence
In The Moral Demands of Affluence. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press on Demand (2004)
Abstract
The failure to save someone’s life directly is wrong because it is a failure of beneficence. The features that make it a failure of beneficence are also features of not helping people at a distance: they are present when the help we can give is indirect as well as when it is immediate. So not helping people at a distance is wrong too. The methodological challenge of Ch.1 can be answered.Author's Profile
