However, they would also look into how much the action would affect her family. Overall, they would consider euthanasia as it would result in the least amount of suffering for everyone concerned and allowing the current situation to continue would cause enormous pain and anguish. For 15 years Terri Schiavo was in a state where she could not live up to her full potential, she was not really living. A rule utilitarianist would not consider euthanizing Schiavo even in the greatest of circumstances because, it would cause more harm than good.

  • Objection To Act Utilitarianism

    1217 Words  | 5 Pages

    Utilitarianism is the moral theory that the action that people should take it the one that provides the greatest utility. In this paper I intend to argue that utilitarianism is generally untenable because act and rule utilitarianism both have objections that prove they cannot fully provide the sure answer on how to make moral decisions and what will be the ultimate outcome. I intend to do this by defining the argument for act and rule utilitarianism, giving an example, presenting the objections to act and rule utilitarianism and proving that utilitarianism is untenable. Both act and rule utilitarianism attempt to argue that what is right or wrong can be proven by what morally increases the well being of people. Act utilitarianism argues that
