Indeed, this presentation is excellent. Thank you Sir Albina for explaining Bentham's Utilitarian principle in a clear and concise way. Through this, I was able to cultivate some life realizations about seeking pleasure not just for myself but for the goodness of all.
This presentation is superb! Thank you sir Al for the discussion's of Bentham Utilitarian Principle through this I was able to learned that morality will always lead us to right path for any action that creates the best balance of pros over cons for everyone in the situation.
Original trolley problem: either way is fine to me morally speaking as a probabilistic consequentialist. My argument against pulling the lever is that it diverts the trolley with broken brakes off its intended path and that may have deeper ramifications further along the tracks. It might also horrify people, especially if we're machines rather than humans making the decision, that we played god with people's lives. My argument in favor of pulling the lever is that it at least has the short-term effect of saving more net lives (although who knows what the additional consequences would be). My intuition also doesn't tell me that the lives of five men are better than one man. Even if we apply a utilitarian mindset (although I'm not utilitarian), lives don't have equal utility-producing value. As moral agents interacting in the world, we also have varied responsibilities and expectations among each other. If one of those men is my child, then I would definitely divert the trolley away from my child given my responsibility as a parent. I expect every parent to do the same; the needs of our children should outweigh the needs of strangers. Doctor's dilemma: absolutely not. The consequences would likely be devastating to society if we condoned such medical malpractice. Probably no one would go to hospitals if we did out of fear of becoming the next victim, even the very people who need organ donations. The practical consequences are radically different here from the lever dilemma.
good evening sir thank you for the another learnings about the consequensalism❤️ that is applicable to our daily life, it help us to think on what are the consequences to every action that we made, it could be a pleasure or pain.

Another day, another lesson♥️
"Act always to promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number"
Indeed, our deeds must be directed toward the privilege of the greatest number of people. Thank you, sir Al!
I'm deeply confused about why this should be the case. I'm severely allergic to the notion.
Thank you sir sa another learnings napod. Understandable kaayo ang mga explanations❤
Thanks a Lot Sir for the another discussion . . God Bless You 😇
