Right -- I don't claim any of my moral intuitions to be true or correct; I'm an error theorist, when it comes down to it.

But I do want my intuitions to be consistent with each other. So if I have the intuition that utility is the only thing I value for its own sake, and I have the intuition that Life Extension is better than Replacement, then something's gotta give.
