For Essay 1, you must answer the following question:
“At first glance, it seems that [in the Transplant Case] utilitarianism has to answer
the question with “Yes, the doctor should kill Chuck.” It is better that five people
survive than that just one person does. But on commonsense morality and
virtually every other moral theory, the answer is “No, do not kill Chuck.” On most
views, killing Chuck would be morally monstrous. This apparent counterintuitive
implication of utilitarianism is taken as an argument against its being the correct
moral theory.” (MacAskill, W., Meissner, D., and Chappell, R.Y. Objections to
Utilitarianism and Responses. https://www.utilitarianism.net/objections-to-
utilitarianism, accessed 12/5/2022.)
Explain what the Transplant Case is and why it is supposed to show that Act-
Utilitarianism is not the correct moral theory.
In the lectures, Professor Woollard identified 3 ways that an Act-Utilitarian could
respond to this argument. Explain and assess one of these responses, relating it to
the discussion in MacAskill, Meissner and Chappell.
Note: that this question requires you to discuss Woollard’s version of the possible
responses.
