Book Synopsis Identified Versus Statistical Lives by : I. Glenn Cohen
Book excerpt: Human beings show a greater inclination to assist (and avoid harming) persons and groups identified as those at high risk of great harm than to assist (and avoid harming) persons and groups who will suffer (or already suffer) similar harm but are not identified (as yet). The problem touches almost every aspect of human life and politics: health, the environment, the law. This volume is the first book to tackle the effect from all necessary perspectives.
