In the case of the Ford Pinto failure, I believe that the deaths involved were not justified, the companies cost/benefit analysis was highly misconstrued to work in their favor. Human lives need to have value, it is difficult to put a price on them though. In classical utilitarianism it states that the best choice is the outcome with greatest happiness without unhappiness for everyone concerned. Ford failed to look at the value of human lives in a realistic way, $200,000 for a life is absurd. For a husband, wife, mother etc. this figure is greatly underestimated. Now, look at the cost analysis with a realistic number in today’s day and age I think we would see fixing this problem would not only be for the greatest good, this would also benefit
