Metrics for impact:

1. Number of people affected

2. Likelihood
3. Depth of impact
4. Long term damage
5. Vulnerability of stakeholders
6. Exclusivity of benefit/harm
7. Principle compromise

1. Ban Motions - Weighing Agency over Utility

I. Individuals are the ones who suffer the consequences of these actions (such as an
addict going through withdrawal) - and hence they should be the ones in the position to make
the decision
II. Utility exists differently for different people - for a cigarette addict, they’ll take the long
term damage to avoid the intense suffering of withdrawal etc
III. Utility is a function of agency as well - even if the action being enforced is something
that is “good” for an individual or that they would have likely chosen anyway - the ability to be
able to choose adds utility to their decision - standard argumentation on how people often
choose materially worse lives for greater freedom
2. Weighing morality
a. Vulnerability
b. Intentionality of harm
c. Consent into harm
d. Instrumentalisation
