| Abstract | In this article the author writes that identifying proper moral preferences should not be something that administrators have to deliberately think about before decision-making. Paul Wagner begins the discussion by saying that ideally, the identification of operative moral principles should persist throughout the decision-making process itself. To this end, contemporary decision theory addresses preference making -- including the making of moral preferences-- by identifying values as phenomena that can be proportionally weighted every bit as much as monetary currency. He says further that currency of all kinds, economic, aesthetic, moral and so on, may be converted into a system of utils calibrated to the decision task at hand (Broome, 1991). In the argument that is made in this article, the claim is that modern decision theory can show how moral preferences can be properly calculated within the decision process itself and not left to some well-meaning prelude to actual calculations (Heath, 2008). The theory is presented that the entailment of moral preferences within the decision-process itself ensures moral preferences remain operative throughout planning and other decision-making practices.
