Dentition Making Theory

Dentition Making Certainly, in one point of our life we have question ourselves on how to accomplish the most accurate decision in a moral dilemma. Imagine this scenario, you are a doctor in an oncology ward in a major city that is strapped for financial and material resources. The hospital admitted two new patients. One patient is suffering from a seemingly incurable form of cancer. She has a family for whom she is the primary breadwinner. You know that there is an experimental drug that you could prescribe to her that may help, but that there are significant risks to her health in trying this new medication on her. The second patient seemed to be well on his way to recovering from his own bout with cancer, but this recent admission to the …show more content…
This theory argues that our duty is to contribute as much as we can to the improvement of well-being. As we mention before each theory has their own method of analysis based in it intrinsically value, in this case the intrinsically value is well-being. This theory have three main features which are: (1) maximize goodness, (2) moral knowledge and (3) assessing actions and intentions. In the first place, Act-Utilitarianism maximize goodness by seeking to produce the greatest ratio of happiness over misery. We must be careful to not misunderstand this feature. Since, maximize goodness it is not predetermined on the number of people but by the ratio of happiness obtained over misery. Secondly, according to this view we obtain our moral knowledge by the consequences of our actions. In this case utilitarian’s affirm that the outcome of an action can be measure in two ways, named the actual and the expected result. Most utilitarians reject the expected result. They argue that the rightness of an action is determinate by the final result and not by the expected one. Thirdly, evaluating actions and intentions.

To have a better understanding of this view it is important to realize that optimific is the best possible consequences of an action. To illustrate this, imagine the wreck of a ship. In this scenario the optimific action is to salve women and children according to our social rules. The principal exponent of this view Brad Hook claimed that there are only two intrinsic values; happiness and justice. According to this concept to determinate if an action is good or wrong the result must be accepted by our social rules. Besides, this claim announce that when we focus on the better possible choice we fail in favor to our notion of justice. Moreover, Rule-Utilitarians support the concept that moral allows partiality. For example, you are involve in a plane crash and your siblings are with you. This claim establish that give preference to our love one would be highly beneficial. Bringing back the scenario of the cancer patients, the Doctor will seek to help the woman. It would not be morally write to deny the help or evict her just because she has a seemingly incurable form of cancer since there still the possibility that she survives. Besides, our society always supports the well-being of families. If this woman do not receives the experimental drug may not survive the battle against cancer
