If Bentham were to decide if this event was morally right he would say that it is. I base this assumption off of his theory of Utilitarianism. Bentham’s Utilitarianism can be explained using three main components; Motivation, Principle of utility, and Hedonic Calculus. Motivation explains that humans are motivated to avoid pain and pursue pleasure, According to Bentham, a human beings motivation to steer clear of pain and be drawn to pleasure is a moral fact. Human beings display the pursuit of pleasure (which is called hedonism) in today’s society, for example, one gets a job to live a happy life in order to avoid the hardships of being poor. Bentham viewed pleasure being the embodiment of good while pain was the embodiment of bad.
