Philosophy professor Clark Wolf defends "negative consequentialism as a component of a larger theory of justice."[16] Walter Sinnott-Armstrong interprets Bernard Gert's moral system as a "sophisticated form of negative objective universal public rule consequentialism."[17] Jamie Mayerfeld argues for a strong duty to relieve suffering, which can be consequentialist in form.[18] He says that "suffering is more bad than happiness is good,"[19] and that "the lifelong bliss of many people, no matter how many, cannot justify our allowing the lifelong torture of one."[20] Accordingly to this, the ultimate goal of negative consequentialism would then be the eradication of suffering[21]
