or officials in the ministry of finance?

Capability to Function
Rather than look for psychological or
material indicators of well-being
Let’s draw attention to what each person is able to do and to be.

Capabilities are better metrics of well-being than…
• material resources (income, wealth etc.) since different people have different needs and abilitiesto use resources.
• utilities or preference satisfaction since utilities and preferences are adaptive to circumstances.
• functioning since different people value different functions and capabilities leave room for individual choice.

Markets in Life
The two sides of the marketThe question of where
markets belong is really about how wewant to live together
(Sandel, 2012)

Two Basic Objections to Markets
Fairness
Injustice may arise whenpeople buy and sell things
under conditions of inequality or dire
necessity
Corruption
Certain moral or civicgoods are dimished or
corrupted if bought and sold

Markets in Life
• Are there only tworelevant sides?
• Other significantstakeholders and theirinterests?
• Criteria for donors and seekers?
The two sides of the market
![Page 24: Ethics Sparring - Aalto · (Sandel, 2012) Virtues and Vices of Markets •Efficiency •Freedom If suitable institutional background conditions •Property Rights •Free Information](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071004/5fc14f325423f467ea6752ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Motivation
Donors:
Time-consumingUncomfortableNo motivation
Seekers:
Lack of supplyLack of trustUnreliability

MotivationEmpirical evidence suggest that:
1. People care about material payoffs.2. People consider the interests of others they know.3. People are willing to sacrifice their own material well-being to
help those who are kind to them and to punish those unkind to them.
4. People take into account the well-being of strangers whose interests are at stake.
5. People are interested in their reputations – what others think about their behavior.
6. People care about their self-conceptions – what kind of persons they wish to be.

Markets Crowding out Morals
Sometimes offering payment for a certain behaviour may get you less of
it, not more (Sandel 2012)

Blood for Sale
”The commercialization of blood and donorrelationships leads to chronic shortages, wasted
blood, higher costs, and a greater risk of contamination. It represses the expression of altruism and erodes the sense of community.”

Eugenics
Simple solution
Home donation kit
Genetic test
Search engine platform
If your idea is to use genetic test as a
requirement to donors and as an incentive to
seekers, does it open the door to eugenics?

Main Question
