@drjasonjcampbell Dr. Campbell, I needed some advice for my philosophy class. We will write an Essay if we agree or disagree with Judith Jarvis Thomson position in her essay "A Defense of Abortion"... By showing examples & other works that argue. I wanted to know if there is any philosophers or other works that support her position.. Thanks, Juan Chavez

Okay wait so, utilitarianism is concerned with the greatest number who are "happy" right? Would this then mean that the minority's rights become overlooked?
@Hectikmania Yes. If the actions outcomes/consequence is for the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people. So yes, the minority would get overlooked cos they are less in number.
J.S. Mill also wrote about the 'Tyranny of the Majority' - google it. Should set it in more light but I think it's more to do with political philosophy as oppossed to ethics.
My philosophy prof went on paternity leave and he was replaced by a TA who is a drunken bumbling fool and completely unable to explain this. You have done a U of T student a great service
This is great help. Thankyou from an A-level student from England

Is it correct to say that Utilitarians are also Deontologists, and Deontologists are also Utilitarians?
