    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Rawlsian justice is fundamentally domestic in scope: the basic structure principle applies only within cooperative schemes bounded by coercive institutions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Global health disparities arise from failed state institutions, not from transnational cooperative schemes that could ground robust duties of justice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, public health ethics addresses humanitarian duties of assistance, not justice properly construed, diminishing its claimed special position in global justice discourse.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Health is not lexically prior to other dimensions of well-being; Norman Daniels' species-typical functioning threshold cannot be derived from Rawls without independent argument.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If health collapses into general well-being, public health ethics holds no privileged analytical position over other domains of global distributive justice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
