What is the most ethical way for one to distribute his or her children's portion of an estate to bequeath equal shares to each child or to make the distribution reflect the individual's needs?
Soln. Legally, it is stated to distribute his or her children's portion of an estate equally among the children and it seems quite logical. It is based on being neutral and non-biased decision. But morally it is not valid when one child is in very poor condition and needs extra help to overcome his or her situation. Morally it is always correct to distribute the portion of estate as per the individual's needs. Morality always supports kind and fair decision. If one child is rich enough to survive without being his portion of estate and one child is in bad condition and need more support than his portion of estate, then morality always favors the decision to give the individual in need more share of estate.
