| Abstract: | The application of cost-benefit analysis to environmental issues is inconsistent with the moral considerability of human beings in cases where environmental damage is harmful to human health and in cases where the natural environment is so highly valued that the compensation of damaged parties is infeasible. Moreover, cost-benefit analysis cannot be legitimately appied where non-human natural entitites are views as morally considerable. |
