Yоu аre а skilled dоctоr who is cаring for five patients who all need different organ transplants. There are currently no organs available for them, and if they don’t get their transplants soon, they will all die. You have a sixth patient, who has a serious, but treatable disease. At the moment, you are treating him with a medication that will, most likely, allow him to recover. But he is a compatible organ donor for your five other patients. If you stop giving him his treatment, then he will die, in a very painful way, and you will then be able to use his organs to save the others. What should you do? Explain, in detail, what the morally correct action is according to utilitarianism. Include in your answer an explanation of utilitarianism, who will be affected by both choices, and how they will be affected. Explain, in detail, what the morally correct action is according to Kantian ethics. Include in your answer, the categorical imperative, the maxims, and an explanation of what, according to Kant, would be “reasonable.” With which theory do agree? Explain.
