experimenting with different perspectives!

Providing happiness to a whole group is one of the main principles and the most important for us utilitarian’s. We want the best for a whole group; we want groups to feel good and have all the things they want. In simple words it is what’s best for the group that we are looking for. Abortion comes to be a problem as a utilitarian since you need to see from all the perspectives who are involved with it. For example it is not human or ethic to kill a living human just because you don’t want it because for this there are many options one of them can be adoption. When it comes to a problem is when there is more than one person included and also pain is involved. An example of this may be where there is a mother a father and many children and it is said by the doctors that they can only save one of the life’s or the mother dies and the baby lives or the other way around the mother lives and the baby dies. This is a hard situation because the mother would prefer the baby to live but there is a whole family that needs the care of a mother and she can’t leave them alone. In this case it would be ethical to abort since there is a whole group who needs to be happy and killing the mother will only makes things go wrong with them since the presence of a mother is essential in the family!
