 The individual allocation scenarios just described are powerful “intuition pumps” (Dennett 2013) because they emphasize a direct competition between two individuals over the same required health resource. Yet if the only lesson we can draw from the life-saving and health improvement scenarios is that our intuitions about whether disability matters are clearer the starker the contrast in benefit or cost, this does not seem to advance the debate very much. Given that there is already a concern about the unrealistic simplicity of the individual cases, perhaps we can get a better result by asking whether, and in what way, disability is a relevant ethical consideration as a general social policy or allocation strategy that will be consistently and neutrally applied to everyone, without exception.
