**It's a strong claim, but it does seem unfair for some people to benefit so much from something they had nothing to do with, especially at the extreme ends of the spectrum.** - In what I sometimes think of as a completely [ideal](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/216807965_The_Post-Scarcity_World_of_2050-2075) world of [post-scarcity](http://www.edujob.gr/sites/default/files/epagg_prooptikes/The%20Post-Scarcity%20World%20of%202050-2075.pdf), it would be immoral for anyone to have [more than anyone else](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-post-scarcity-anarchism-1). I would love if it were possible for everyone to have as fair a shot as possible at meeting and then exceeding their needs and desires, relative to their circumstances. - I don't think it's radically, morally wrong for inheritance to be unequal unless we go to the extremes - where people who need it desperately don't inherit anything and people who don't need it at all inherit an extremely excessive amount. At these extreme ends, I think I could get behind the argument that it's morally wrong. - When it comes down to it, I'm really torn on this opinion, because while I do think it is unfair for some people to benefit so greatly from their inheritance, I think it's just a byproduct of our way of life that isn't the _worst_ thing in the world if it isn't playing out at the extreme ends of the spectrum. This may not be the most valid method of reasoning, of course, so I'm certainly open to changing my mind, even completely - and, in fact, remain wavering on the fence for now.

**I would not class inherited wealth as 'morally wrong'. It is unfair, yes, but 'moral wrongs' are more like choices — while this seems more about life being a lottery, which it undeniably is.** - Our conceptions of morality are often [linked with conscious choice] (https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-a-moral-decision-definition-examples-quiz.html) — it's easy, for example, to argue that the choice to commit murder is morally wrong. In this case, however, such a choice is not made in the same way. You could say that extremely wealthy families should choose to donate their wealth to charity, etc. but you couldn't very well claim that a poor family would be morally wrong to give their kids what little they have. It would be incredibly hard to locate a kind of cutting off point for when it suddenly becomes immoral to help your children financially. - There are a lot of privileges that you inherit upon birth that might make your life easier — you could be highly attractive, you could have inherited perfect health, you could benefit from being born male and white. Yes, these things are more innate than inherited wealth, but they are also similar in the sense that life is a lottery. You are within your rights to complain that others were automatically given a better shot at life, but you can't claim these things to be 'morally wrong'.
