Mill On Act Utilitarianism

In order to be an effective advocate for Anna as a patient I need to use the rational given by the doctor in utilitarianism by shedding light on some gaps in his/her logic. The emphasis placed on the consequences of the situation are indeed important to consider, however they are unforeseeable and perhaps will not unfold in the same manner that the doctor perceives (Collier & Haliburton, 2015, p.12). It’s a possibility that this child will grow up to be an intelligent musician who is able to exercise their higher mental capacities, increasing their possibilities for pleasures and happiness and become a higher member of the moral community hence defending the argument posed by Mill on act utilitarianism (Collier & Haliburton, 2015, p.10).
