Is it not true that if AMF generally saved older people then giving to AMF would have been equally as good under TRIA as deprivationism?
If so I think it’s worth making this explicit. It’s an interesting and important point that for interventions that prolong the lives of older people, it isn’t nearly as consequential what moral theory you choose. It’s far more consequential for interventions that save young people.
I generally think intuitions like this are very useful as it allows your analysis to be applied to more scenarios than just the one at hand.
