the greatest good is happiness!
As a utilitarian I say that "the greatest good and happiness should be given to the greatest number of people". I believe that if a person is terminally ill it should be put to sleep. I believe this because one person ill makes many others feel bad and here what’s important it’s the majority. We want everyone to be happy and by watching someone who is ill or by just being around an ill person who is literally dying makes everyone mentally and spiritually sick. Morality is focused when trying to figure out what to do in every situation. Although we don’t know what exactly is going to happen until the decision has been made, we know that this is a good decision because everyone around the ill person will be able to regain the peace in which they want to live. The greatest principle we have is happiness. Around a person who is ill, in critical situation it is very difficult to be in a happy or in a good mood, to gain this peacefulness and not stress state is almost impossible. The best thing that I would recommend people to do is to let the ill person rest in peace in this way everybody will be happy because the other person is going to be now in good hands and it is not suffering any more neither having a bad time. I restate that humans have the right to end their lives if they are really ill and having a bad time were they are not the only ones affected but also their love ones. adriana bendana!!
