Peggy's argument focuses on the consequences of Jack's actions and how they benefit people in need. This aligns with teleological theory, which evaluates the morality of actions based on their outcomes or consequences. Rawlsian moral theory focuses on justice and fairness, artificial person application is a legal concept, and deontological theory evaluates the morality of actions based on whether they follow moral duties and principles, which is not relevant to Peggy's argument.
