Description: Views on the moral difference between doing harm and allowing harm; by Frances Howard-Snyder.
Doing vs. Allowing Harm (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Tue May 14, 2002; substantive revision Tue Dec 20, 2011 Is doing harm worse than allowing harm? If not, there should be no moral objection to active euthanasia in circumstances where passive euthanasia is permissible; and there should be no objection to bombing innocent civilians where doing so will minimize the overall number of deaths in war. There should, however, be an objection—indeed, an outcry—at our failure to prevent the deaths of millions of children in the third world from malnutrition, dehydration, and measles.
