using cost-effectiveness analysis is that the procedure allows for easier comparison by quantifying the costs of benefits of each treatment (Lecture 1/21/2016). However, in Jonathan Wolff’s article, Making the World Safe for Utilitarianism, he argues that the way in which these costs and benefits are quantified can be problematic and up for contestation due to the way in which the manipulator creates valuations that represent certain costs and benefits (5).
