Moral Parliament Tool for Allocating Healthcare Resources

The Moral Parliament Tool provides a framework for modeling participants' general moral views and simulating democratic deliberation among them. We show how the tool can be used to support democratic decisions about how to allocate healthcare resources. We apply the tool to three different bioethics case studies, showing how a hypothetical moral parliament composed of delegates of diverse worldviews would decide to distribute resources. This approach provides a more generalizable alternative to existing methods for participatory algorithm design.

Abstract

The Moral Parliament Tool provides a framework for modeling participants' general moral views and simulating democratic deliberation among them. We show how the tool can be used to support democratic decisions about how to allocate healthcare resources. We apply the tool to three different bioethics case studies, showing how a hypothetical moral parliament composed of delegates of diverse worldviews would decide to distribute resources. This approach provides a more generalizable alternative to existing methods for participatory algorithm design.
