  • Ford Pinto Case Study

    Upon reading the case study titled “Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Ford Pinto,” and reviewing Bentham’s Hedonic Calculus, along with the essentials of the Utilitarian school of thought, it is quite clear that Ford Motor Company’s decision to greenlit the production of the Ford Pinto model without fixing the vehicle’s defective part was indeed morally permissible. The first set of reasoning which led me to this conclusion can be found directly in Bentham’s Hedonic Calculus. Within this, Bentham establishes the seven criteria one must consider when making a decision based on resulting pain or pleasure, whether it be for an individual or a large group of people. What is key to focus on, in this instance, is the criteria of the fecundity of the act (the chance the result has of being followed by sensations of the same kind), and the intensity of the resultant pleasure.
