Question

How does natural law theory determine which things have natural value?

Do you agree with natural law theory that things with natural value help to determine the basis for that which is morally right? Why or why not? Recall that one of the criticisms of Social Contract Theory is that it might not obligate us to consider the elderly, infants, or future generations in our moral decision-making. How might someone respond to this objection and argue that, in fact, we do have moral obligations to one or more of these vulnerable populations under Social Contract Theory? (Though you are not required to, you may address Kittay's argument in your response.) According to the U.S. Labor Department, women earn, on average, 80 cents for every dollar that men earn. Women of color earn even less on the dollar when their earnings are compared to men’s. Do you think that this income inequality meets Rawls’s conditions for permissible social and economic inequality? Why or why not?
