either it is morally wrong or good is acceptable as long as the end outcome is greater. In this essay on utilitarianism‚ I would argue Peter Singer’s calculus preferences‚ equality is for all living being but sacrificing one for greater good is plausible.

Deontology A maxim is a personal rule we follow to do the right thing. Following the rule of a moral law is something a rational human being does according to Kant. There are two types of rules the Hypothetical rule and the categorical rule. The hypothetical rule is if I do “this” then “this” will happen as a result.
