| description | A wide range of governmental policies characteristic of the modern state seek to reduce individuals’ fatality risks. Risk, Death, and Well-Being provides a rigorous treatment of the ethics of fatality risk regulation. It does so through the lens of welfare-consequentialism—specifically, lifetime welfarism, with a particular focus on utilitarianism and prioritarianism. At the level of policy choice, the book deploys the social-welfare-function (SWF) framework—which is the most systematic decision-procedure for implementing lifetime welfarism. |
