Question
Please help with my homework I am struggling with, Thank you, he says; Suppose that a parent of a middle school student discovers that another parent is planning to set off a bomb in the school. The first parent knows that the bomber goes for a run every morning at 7 AM and it would be easy enough to run him down on the street with a car when he was running. How would deontology require that the first parent act, and why? Would utilitarianism require a different course of action? Why, or why not?
Explanation / Answer
Kant's Deontology advocates that both actions and outcomes must be ethical,deontology would require the first parent to take legitimate step that may be informing the police about the plan rather running him down on the street Utilitarianism would not require the first parent to take a different course because it believes that actions that produce good for greater number of people are justified no matter what the course of action is.
