    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Expanding evaluative scope without priority rules produces irresolvable trade-offs that paralyze public health decision-making.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Norman Daniels argues that health's special moral importance derives precisely from its role as a prerequisite for fair opportunity, not from its interconnection with all valued states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Institutional role morality, as developed by Walzer in 'Spheres of Justice,' requires that health institutions maintain bounded mandates to preserve their distinctive legitimacy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Theories that treat health as interconnected with all valued states risk collapsing public health ethics into undifferentiated utilitarian welfare maximization, losing normative specificity.

    Each of these different ways of explicating why health is a matter of justice – because health contributes to overall utility or welfare, because of its strategic importance to fair opportunity, because it is a central human capability, or because health is a core element of human well-being – provide reasons why national and global policy-setting structures should place a priority on health. Each provides justifications, some overlapping and some distinctive, for extensive collective investment
