    Allocation(refers to how health systems decide who gets treatment)
    The process of deciding how to distribute limited resources (like healthcare, money, or medicine) among people who need them.
    Emission-level facts(as used in environmental ethics)
    Specific, concrete details about the emissions themselves—like how much pollution there is, what type it is, and how replaceable or avoidable it is.
    Emissions(as used in environmental ethics)

    Interest-satisfaction(describing what humans gain from hunting and ivory trade)
    When a being's desires, needs, or preferences are fulfilled—like when an animal gets food, safety, or comfort.
