And here's the more traditional abstract:
Douglas Diekema influentially argues that interference with parental decisions is not in fact guided by the child’s best interests, but rather by a more permissive standard, which he calls the harm principle. This article first seeks to clarify this alternative position and defend it against certain existing criticisms, before offering a new criticism and alternative. This ‘harm principle’ has been criticized for (i) lack of adequate moral grounding, and (ii) being as indeterminate as the best interest standard that it seeks to replace. I argue that these are not serious problems. I take Diekema’s negative point to be right—our actual standard for intervention is not literally the best interests of the child—but I disagree with his proposed replacement. First, Diekema’s proposed harm threshold should be more carefully distinguished from Mill’s harm principle. Second, there is no reason to assume that the standard for permissible intervention coincides with the threshold for harm (or serious harm). Thus, I propose that the best alternative to the best interests standard is not a harm principle, but rather a sufficiency threshold between adequate (or ‘good enough’) and inadequate (or ‘substandard’) parenting.
A Sufficiency Threshold is Not a Harm Principle is a necessary lead to a new and devolved trip that challenges forty years of neoliberalism and simplicity. It connects real progress towards a transformed and democratic economy. As a cheap essay writer I thank of you for this post.

ReplyDeleteThis blog is so different from others because the nation is engaged in politics and types of games. This blog is written to say that a sufficiency threshold is not a harm principle, and I agree with this blog.
