I have always been one to side with a utilitarian’s point of view‚ such as Mill and Bentham. The greatest happiness of the greatest number‚ or as cold as it may be‚ sacrificing the few for the good of the many. Utilitarian moral theories evaluate the moral worth of action on the basis of happiness that is produced by an action. Whatever produces the most happiness in the most people is the moral course of action. I will give the best arguments against Utilitarianism‚ and show in my own opinion‚ why

Implantation Although the pacemaker can be used by everyone‚ physicians who recommend permanent pacemaker implantation must consider “comorbidities‚ surgical risks‚ quality of life‚ and patient preference” (Bains 2017). Before we begin the surgical procedure‚ we need to understand the difference between the 4 types of pacemakers. External (transcutaneous) pacemakers are outside of the body‚ but the wires are attached to the skin. This type is used for emergencies because they are only temporary.

At the same time‚ the deontological theory‚ we need to pay attention to all facts

There is a very clear way that any sophisticated utilitarian could handle this proposal. Obviously‚ they have to consider that the limited sports program needs to be incorporated‚ but at the same time they can’t cut too heavily into the current sports program. There is a very clear plan that would allow the physically impaired student to have their new sport program added‚ without greatly hindering the current sports program. It has been said that the cost of the new program is four times as high
