Utilitarians and human rights

Utilitarians and human rights

A general structure of utilitarian ethics:

  1. Quality Adjusted Life Years: how to measure impact.
  1. Life Rights: we are unsatisfied until these are achieved for all beings.
  1. Positive and negative morality: a way to map QALYs to Life Rights.
  1. Full security of human rights: the world where our negative moral concerns are resolved.
