The core of this book is a novel theory of distributive justice premised on the fundamental moral equality of persons. In the light of this theory, Eric Rakowski considers three types of problem which urgently require solutions - the distribution of resources, property rights, and the saving of life - and provides challenging and unconventional answers. Further, he criticizes the economic analysis of law as a normative theory, and develops an alternative account of tort and property law.
Among the topics discussed are the principles by which earnings, wealth, and gifts should be taxed; whether the compulsory removal of organs for transplantation can be justified; how doctors and public officials should make life-or-death decisions when all those endangered cannot be helped in equal measure; and the morality of killing human beings and non-human animals.

See images for condition. About the book >.>.> ALL hold that justice is some kind of equality." Aristotle said. But what kind of equality is it? No one would deny that equals deserve equal treatment, but that formal statement leaves all the important questions unanswered. When are people properly regarded as equals, despite their myriad differences? What aspects of a person's history, character, and conduct ought to influence the distribution of social benefits and burdens? And to what extent should one or another such feature affect the allocation of goods or the infliction of harms relative to other attributes or by comparison with competing moral values? This book attempts to answer these questions in many (though by no means all) of the larger social contexts in which they are commonly asked. In it I address two partly overlapping issues. First, what principles for apportioning scarce resources and opportunities within a political com-munity are just, assuming that no morally licit collective projects not mandated by.
