Perhaps, Amani, you might already have your criticism of
Utility: In Utility, man is considered rational. We are supposed
to make logical choices based upon maximum benefit. But, humans
are not rational. Reality is far more complicated than reason
alone. So, each situation needs to be decided individually.
Because each case must be decided individually, as humans are
not purely reasonable, Utility is not functional for describing
what is best, for what is best requires more than just reason
alone. I don't know if this helps or is even correct, but it is
something that came to mind. == Yes, that's one of the issues
with pure utilitarianism. Maximum benefit for whom? Self?
Society? Is it rationable? [that is, can someone make a logical
case] Is it reasonable? [that is, what would a common man likely
think] Can something unreasonable be rationalized? Can something
reasonable be illogical? All good questions I think. == In the
Netherlands, the "right to die" has been law for a long time
now. There is a dark side to right to die. Doctors often
encourage older patients that it would be best for the family if
they agree to die. To me, this is unethical. == There's extremes
to every opinion. The answer is finding a reasonable diplomatic
middle. == Exactly! In compromise, nobody is fully happy. That
is the point of it. It is awkward. It forms a status quo of an
uneasy treaty, where everybody gets partial wins, but nobody
gets the whole cake. Yet, nobody walks away hungry either. ==
Doesn't matter if someone else does Grey. Let them. Work on your
own opinions and find your own consistency if that's important
for you. Justice isn't blind and people play favorites. ==
