I fail to see any ethical dilemma at all when dealing with the difference between the want of person A versus the want of person B. Now if we were talking the needs of these 2 persons (food, water, inalienable rights, etc), that is a different story.
Personally what I find unethical and reprehensible is the assumption that "society's wants" trump and individual's inalienable right to "pursuit of happiness" when it doesn't impinge on another's inalienable right to life or liberty.
