One of most puzzling structural features of commonsense morality is the presence of asymmetrical constraints on harming and allowing harm or for short, just asymmetrical constraints. By that I mean that the constraint on harming are strong and that the constraints on allowing harm are weak. Vry roughly, commonsense morality says that it is typically impermissible for agent to harm someone else even greaterharm. But commonsense morality also says that is typically permissible for an agent to allow someone else to suffer a harm even if the agent thereby only avoids herself or a bystander suffering a smaller harm.
