1. Rule utilitarians assess an action's morality by examining whether it complies with any rules of
conduct or not. Now, even though he killed his wife on purpose to relieve her suffering, he was breaking
the law. There is no rule or law that mandates killing people to relieve their suffering. As a result, the
old man's behavior was unjust and did not adhere to any rules of behavior. The deliberate act of ending
another person's life is referred to as "euthanasia," which can be carried out in either a passive or active
manner. By using a substitute and by engaging in certain behaviors, a person may speed up their own
death by letting nature take its course. Although the practice of active euthanasia, also referred to as
"the good death," One of the factors that contributes to a person's death is euthanasia. According to
the utilitarian school of thought, decisions should be made based on which ones will result in the
greatest number of people experiencing the most happiness and the least amount of suffering. They
ought to be assessed in this manner. Euthanasia is an act that can be morally justified when viewed only
from a utilitarian standpoint. Our research into the beginning with the premise that people should be
given the freedom to choose for themselves the degree to which they experience the "mercy killing"
happiness. This guiding principle states that actions are proper if they have whereas actions are viewed
as inappropriate if they have the unintended side the result of making people feel less positive about
themselves. when it results in happiness The compassionate killing of an innocent person can have
negative effects on the individual as well as society.as a deed that is morally acceptable. Because of the

Utilitarian viewpoint because it is determined by how many people will find enjoyment. This is because
the number of people who will experience enjoyment determines the outcome. This is so because the
outcome depends on how many people will find enjoyment. As a result, the outcome will be
determined by the proportion of satisfied customers. The spouse won't feel as uneasy as they did in the
past when they see their wife lying in a hospital bed. In addition, since his wife won't have to attempt to
live a normal life any longer, she won't have to endure the agony of trying to do so. The expense of
caring for a patient who is terminally ill will be high, and this sum of money can be utilized to the
greatest extent possible in several ways, including by giving the patient a stipend for their education or
by donating to a charity. The overall cost of caring for a terminally ill patient will be high. The problem
can be solved by euthanizing the patient because it would be wasteful to continue treating someone
who cannot be cured. As a result, the resolution of the circumstance
2. Only in this context can a course of action be deemed moral. The definition of what is as
follows: it signifies that a behavior is regarded as moral. How much of a benefit is it to the most
individuals if they are made into slaves? When the following conditions are observed. Make it possible
to defend the use of slavery in its current form from a utilitarian standpoint. Institutional form: To begin
with, there aren't many people being kept as second, most people stand to make such a significant
amount from the sale of most of the slaves, a situation where the pain the slaves experience is more
than made up for. The utilitarianism hypothesis states that a deed can only be considered moral if it
seeks to maximize the amount of happiness and good it brings to the greatest number of people. In
other words, the amount of money that most people stand to make more than makes up for the
suffering that slaves are forced to endure. How much a particular activity contributes. The primary
criterion that utilitarianism uses to assess the value of that action is its contribution to people's
happiness. A utilitarian shouldn't have a problem with the practice of slavery if the people who are kept
as slaves are happy with their lives and the work that they do. There are a few important points that
need to be raised in relation to the conversation that is currently going on. Starting off, one of the
problems with this scenario is that the advantages enjoyed by the slave owner far outweigh those of the
slave. This contrasts with the advantages the slave enjoyed. That the scenario includes this is one of its
problems. Even though most slaves may be content, their happiness cannot compare to what they
would experience if they were free. They would feel bliss on a completely different level if they were
free. They would calculate the average level of happiness, which means that prejudice would be applied
to slave owners who had significantly higher levels of happiness than their slaves. This is so that they
could calculate the general state of happiness. This line of thought ultimately results in the problem
with utilitarianism; this argument ultimately results in the difficulty with utilitarianism. A utilitarian
would support the situation if the benefits of having slaves and owning them did not outweigh one
another; however, if they did, a utilitarian would not support the situation.
