There are many opinions and perspectives on these topics but within utilitarianism is a kind of consequentialism, which states that the best action is the one that maximizes utility and its actions are solely judged by its consequences. Knowing the meaning, Singer makes sense in a way that a baby cannot maximize utility and a baby doesn’t even know or make decisions. Although this may be correct, to me, its not morally…
