Discrimination against acquired features: An integrated empirical ethics assessment through the lens of a chosen lifestyle compared to an inescapable income

The main objectives of the stay will be to:

a)     Produce a nearly publishable draft of my article. 

b)    Present and discuss my initial idea and draft with experts who will contribute to the consolidation of my normative suggestions.

All in all, the Brocher stay will provide me with the required environment, time, and human network to produce an article of high quality and considerable impact.  I believe that this article will be able to contribute to the existing policy debates regarding distributive justice in various contexts suggesting an ethically sound and cost-effective rationing criterion. Building on that, it will also be able to explicitly connect the discussion around responsibility to the broader literature of discrimination and state its normative suggestions’ applicability through the examination of two case studies.
