 Feldman (1995a, 567) is explicit that the goal of his desert-sensitive version of consequentialism is to respond to Rawls’ objection. He suggests that his theory can handle many of the examples commonly thought to raise problems for consequentialism, such as the Organ Transplant. In another paper Feldman suggests that a desert-adjusted theory of intrinsic value can avoid Parfit’s Repugnant Conclusion (see Feldman 1995c; for the Repugnant Conclusion, see Parfit 1984; for reservations about Feldman’s response to Rawls’ objection, and an alternative, see McLeod 2006).
