ABSTRACT
This chapter argues why marginalized and vulnerable people in a given situation should receive attention and action when it comes to the problem of moral prioritization—in situations that require it. This point entails that not all cases need these groups to come first. In turn, it established the criteria for when they should. For instance, patterns of historical mistreatment such as racism, ableism, or sexism show that there is “buy-in” warranting prioritization to mitigate harm and prevent future occurrences. It also shows why vulnerable groups deserve the same or similar prioritization due to conditions requiring care, which counts as a form of buy-in. After addressing these issues, it establishes criteria for dealing with conflicting challenges between marginalized and vulnerable stakeholders and examines intersectional affairs.
