Personally, I think empowering individuals to control their own lives is an inherent good, so within my personal definition of morality, it makes the world a better place from the start.

However, I'm well aware of the tradeoffs--en masse, individuals will collectively make some pretty stupid decisions (i.e. continuing the destruction of the planet) that might make the world a worse place. We need more than programs that allow personal choice to make the world better--we need education, social change, better laws, funding, etc.

The fact is, there's nobody running the show who could coordinate all of this to ensure that programs that enable personal choice are a net positive. We can only do our part and hope that people in other areas of expertise do their part.
