Moral consideration(as describing which consequences deserve ethical weight): Taking something seriously in your ethical thinking—treating it as mattering morally, or as something whose wellbeing or interests you have a duty to care about.
Peter Singer(as the philosopher whose framework is being discussed): A contemporary Australian philosopher famous for arguing that we have strong moral obligations to help people in extreme poverty, even if it requires significant personal sacrifice.
Utilitarian framework(as Singer's ethical approach): An ethical approach that says an action is morally right if it produces the greatest happiness or well-being for the greatest number of people.
necessary and sufficient conditions(in philosophical analysis): A 'necessary' condition is something that must be true for something else to happen; a 'sufficient' condition is something that guarantees it will happen. This phrase describes what must be true (and what's enough) for a definition to apply.
