According to O'Neill, Kantian moral theory forbids all of the above actions in the context of famine. Kant's ethical theory emphasizes the dignity and autonomy of individual human beings and requires that we treat others as ends in themselves, rather than merely as means to our own ends. Privatizing relief supplies or hoarding food would be treating others merely as means to our own ends, while coercing people into accepting sterilization would violate their autonomy and dignity.
