You are running an organ donation laboratory. you play the role of the office manager, who controls the lab and the doctors within it. currently, in the office, there are 5 patients awaiting organ transplants. one needs a heart, another, a liver, the third, a kidney, the fourth, a pancreas, and finally the last person needs a lung. assume all the patients can accept any organ without their body rejecting it, and that all have only one day to live if they don’t get their transplants. a person comes in as a possible donor of a kidney for a family member and is found to match all 5 of the current dying patients.
you only have two options open to you: will you do nothing and let 5 die, or will you kill 1 so that the 5 can live?
directions:
assess the scenario as a utilitarian and explain the course of action you will take and the rule of utilitarianism that guided your choice.
explain your own ethical position. state whether you agree with the utilitarians or not, explaining your reasoning in either case.
explore the ramifications of the choice you have made.
