Utilitarianism
I think Utilitarianism is the most morally right thing to do in situations where human lives are involved. I believe this because in a situation where you can either save nine humans lives but you have to kill one or you just don’t do anything and let the nine people die and one survive I think it is only logical to pick the option where you save the most lives. However some people will say that using utilitarianism shouldn’t be used because you would be regarded as a murder which is a sin and is one of the Ten Commandments. They would say that you shouldn’t intervene and let nature take its course because that will be the most morally right thing to do as it involves you murdering somebody.
Another reason why I think using Utilitarianism is the most morally right thing to do in this situation is because nine lives are worth more than one life so it would only be right to save the most lives. Some people would say that this is wrong because you could end up killing that one nice person and the other nine people could be bad people which then you would have to evaluate is it worth to save someone’s life if they are a murderer for example. You would then have to use utilitarianism again and weigh up the best option because if you save nine murderers and then kill the one person who might volunteer to help children or raise money for charity then killing the nines murderers would be the most morally right decision.

    In terms of utilitarianism, actions are evaluated by the outcome. What we should do is to maximize the good outcomes and minimize the bad outcomes. The most promising way of reaching the final decision is to choose the one that would bring about the greatest net benefits to everyone affected by the action once the harms had been taken into account.…

    A Utilitarian view holds true in many of the reasons that are commonly used to bash capital punishment. A Utilitarian, or someone who believes in maximizing social utility, would say that capital punishment affects society negatively. It lowers the significance of human life and causes society to be desensitized to brutality. A Utilitarian would agree with this statement because it is not creating what is best, all in…

    If you think about mercy killing, also known as compassionate homicide, you think about the act of painlessly allowing to die, to avoid extreme measures of pain and suffering. Mercy killing is demonstrated thoroughly throughout John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice And Men. Mercy killing can be argued whether or not it is right or wrong, and/or justifiable, as demonstrated throughout the novel Of Mice And Men. In current society Mercy Killing is considered politically incorrect, although many people agree it is a necassary step to save one from extreme pain and suffering.…

    “Any action or social policy is morally right if it serves to increase the amount of happiness in the word or to decrease the amount of misery. Conversely, an action or social policy is morally wrong if it serves to decrease happiness or to increase misery.” (RSL/Rachels, EL 247) The utilitarian argument is used to justify and condemn many policies, however, I believe that the argument is especially fitting when it comes to the matter of active euthanasia. Mercy, an action that serves to decrease the overall misery in the world, is an unquestionable sign of kindness and correctness. Mercy comes in many forms and is rarely frowned upon. Following this reasoning, why is mercy that takes the form of ending a suffering patient’s life considered…

    Utilitarian’s view suffering as intrinsically bad, and only when the amount of suffering is outweighed by the amount of resulting benefit is suffering acceptable. Punishment involving suffering is a very complicated concept for utilitarian’s. With regards to crime the only justifiable punishment is a punishment that will in turn reduce crime. Utilitarian decisions are in a sense always a balancing act between total good and consequential harm. The same is true for deciding how to punish criminal offenders; one most determine whether the overall balance of pleasure is increased or decreased because of the form of punishment considered. In doing this a true utilitarian would have to a lot equal consideration to the suffering of all parties including the criminal offender.…

    If you were truly a follower of Utilitarianism, you would not hesitate to push the man. The lives of the five people you saved greatly outweigh the life of the large man and the misery of the consequences you may face. Utilitarianism is very difficult to argue against because it is so simple. Nearly everyone can agree that we should seek wellbeing.…

    In terms of rationale, a definitively superior option is present, yet, nevertheless, readers’ opinions are far from consistent, *but why*? The answer is quite simple: within the comfort that is modern-day society, every life is to be considered of equal value -- by decree of law, all humans, regardless of any previous actions, positive or negative, are to be treated…

    A Utilitarian looks at every problem the come across as an equation. In killing 5 people compared to 1 a utilitarian would think of it as 5>1, meaning that 5 people are greater than one so the greatest good would be to save the 4 people and have one die. The greatest good for the greatest number would be to have four people live opposed to having five people die.…

    The inclination that killing is bad is certainly rooted in the world around us, but I believe it is difficult for the reader to identity with the bystander at the switch in the trolley problem. How many times have you had the power to determine who lives and dies? Hopefully few to none, because of this it is easier to feel inclined that killing is bad because we grow up understanding the punishment associated with it (jail). To abiding by utilitarian ideals does make it permissible to kill a bystander, but only if the apparent utility of the situation will increase. In reality it is almost always impossible to fully grasp the full effect of an action until long after the decision has been made. It is for this reason that utilitarianism is the most plausible way to answer these two thought experiments but also why actual application (such as in the example of the Surgeon) is rarely if ever…

    In utilitarianism, there are no actions that are intrinsically wrong. “The morality of an action always depends on its results.” If those results are optimfic then the action is morally right. With this logic, killing/torturing innocents wouldn't be immoral. Most would recoil at this ‘immorality’, but, remember, in utilitarianism “kindness that fails to be optimific is immoral.” I believe this to a certain degree in which that in my opinion some immoral actions can be moral in certain circumstance. Contrastly, I think kindness is moral in most…

    The worse scenario of a crime as seen as ethical is killing someone is self-defense. The debate of someone's life being more important than the attackers has several pros and cons. The person could be facing extreme punishments. Not only could it have legal punishments but mental punishments as well. Since the person would be abnormally violent, it could leave emotional damage. Taking someone's life into their own hands is a big decision and some people will argue that it is not worth it.…

    is it right to kill?

    There are several groups of people who share different views on this question and make their decision on killing someone depending on rules, motives and consequence. There is one group who base their decisions on consequences, they are called utilitarian’s, they are a group of people that act in a way that brings about the most amount of happiness for the most amount of people. An example to show this is The Joker and Batman, should batman kill the Joker? From a utilitarian’s perspective, they would say yes kill The Joker because only one person is killed and it is saving more people and bringing happiness to them.…
