Question description
Discuss how utilitarians weigh pleasure and pain in determining what is ethical. Using both Rachels work and the article on pleasure, determine whether all pleasures and suffering are equally weighted, or some pleasures and sufferings weigh more than others.
In each discussion forum, the object is to increase understanding of many different ethical views. Keep in mind the Principle of Charity. We have a responsibility to be open to new ideas about ethics here, just as you each have a responsibility to be open to your patients views. This openness includes the new theories introduced each week and the participants views expressed in the forum. Seek to understand a view or concept before criticizing it. If your understanding is incomplete, ask respectful questions targeted at the ideas, and not the person expressing them. Answer questions honestly and with respect. We also have a responsibility to express our own
views in such a way that invites discussion. Avoid stereotypes and labelling groups or people, discussing ideas respectfully without use of irrelevant information about the arguer. Avoidance of the ad hominem fallacy is crucial to ethical discussion.
