Utilitarianism: Genetic Engineering

Utilitarianism: Genetic Engineering

1. One of the problems is GM crops.

   • Use of the Hedonic Calculus to assess the risk
     • How many more people would you be able to feed?
     • How many more jobs would this supply?

2. Bentham considers all sentient creatures and therefore would have problems with using cows to grow humans organs ect

3. Singer would consider the preference of animals , alongside humans

   • many genetic engineering processes involve hurting animals and therefore singer would have a problem with this

4. "greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people"

   • It depends how many people the genetic engineering process would benefit and how many it would negatively effect

5. Would it create more happiness or pleasure?
