"Standards for an Account of Children's Well-Being." The American Journal of Bioethics, 14(9), pp. 19–20
Notes
1 For related arguments, see CitationSkelton (in press).
2 This is not to say that where coherence is lacking, the account of children's well-being must necessarily be rejected or modified. If that account is very plausible, there may be pressure to revise our views about animal or adult well-being.
3 In this section, I draw upon the helpful discussion of normative and descriptive adequacy in Sumner (Citation1996, 8–9).
4 It is widely assumed that there is a single coherent concept of well-being under discussion in the philosophical literature on well-being. For skepticism about this, see Scanlon (Citation1998, 108–143) and CitationCampbell (in press).
