Morality, Mortality: Volume I: Death and Whom to Save From It by F. M. Kamm (Professor of Philosophy, Adjunct Professor of Law, Professor of Philosophy, Adjunct Professor of Law, New York University)
Why is death bad for us, even on the assumption that it involves the absence of experience? Whom should we save from death if we cannot save everyone? Kamm considers these questions, critically examining some answers other philosophers have given. She also examines specifically what differences between persons are relevant to the distribution of any scarce resources, e.g. bodily organs for transplantaion.
