"The intuitive idea behind the thought that a universality test can provide a criterion of moral acceptability may be expressed in quite simply as the thought that if we are to act as morally worthy beings, we should not single ourselves out for special consideration or treatment. Hence whatevr we propose for ourselves should be possible (note: not 'desired' or 'wanted' - but at least possible) for all others." (ONORA O'NEILL. Constructions of Reason. 94p.)
