	Moral Luck [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The problem of moral luck arises from a clash between the apparently widely held intuition that cases of moral luck should not occur with the fact that it is arguably impossible to prevent such cases from arising.
		Roughly, intrinsic luck is luck which arises from the elements of the project or action under consideration, while extrinsic luck is luck arising from 'outside' the project.
		Just as luck may interfere in the course of our actions to produce results that have a profound influence on the way we are morally judged, so our luck in being in the right or wrong place at the right or wrong time can have a profound effect on the way we are morally assessed.

	Moral Luck (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Moral luck occurs when an agent can be correctly treated as an object of moral judgment despite the fact that a significant aspect of what she is assessed for depends on factors beyond her control.
		Constitutive luck is luck in who one is, or in the traits and dispositions that one has.
		When it comes to cases of constitutive luck, like the case of the racist, they can say that what we really (ought to) blame people for are the manifestations of their attitudes and their omitting to take steps to eliminate the offending attitudes.

		Denise Rossi knows what good luck is. Nearly three years ago she hit a $1.3 million lottery jackpot, divorced her older husband and started a new life with the winnings.

		Luck by legendary Canadian author Joan Barfoot displays a quiet brilliance in her latest novel, about three women who come to terms with the unexpected death of the man in their midst.
