LSSC Philosophy Do the Ends Justify the Means Discussion

Answer ONE of the following Discussion Prompts: 

Option A: In your own words, how does (act) utilitarianism differ from ethical egoism? Which do you think is more plausible and why? Make sure you begin by briefly summarizing both of these ethical systems. Can you apply both to an ethical situation to illustrate how they would each decide the morality of that situation? 

Option B: Utilitarians think that some humans are morally equal to some animals. In your own words, what exactly do they mean by this, and how do they argue for it? Support your summary with quotation from the readings. Do you agree with them? Why or why not? 

Option C: In your own words, how do utilitarians reply to the thought that certain kinds of actions are intrinsically immoral? Support your summary with quotation from the readings. Do you find their replies convincing? Why or why not?
