Moral Considerability

Moral considerability refers to determining who or what deserves moral consideration and ethical treatment. It involves recognizing that certain beings, like humans and animals, have inherent value and should be considered in our moral decisions. This concept prompts us to think about the rights and welfare of others, beyond just ourselves, shaping our responsibilities towards them. For instance, when deciding how to treat animals or the environment, moral considerability guides our actions by prompting us to consider the impact of those actions on other beings and the world we share.
