Question 3

What is the utility of assessing development ethics through the concept of harm?

Accepted Answer

One approach to development ethics concentrates on a restricted set of issues concerning the infliction, avoidance of, and remedies for harm. These issues are especially pressing and important in development studies, and it may be easier to make progress by applying the principles of avoiding doing harm to others and of taking responsibility for the effects of one's actions and therefore compensating others for harm done to them, wherever they might live. These issues may offer more scope for reaching agreements, such as that it is unacceptable to inflict basic harm on babies, as through climate change, and that it is unacceptable to externalize costs onto other people rather than to pay the full costs of what one initiated and benefited from.
