The questiоn belоw аsks yоu to compаre аnd contrast how rule utilitarians and deontologists would think differently about the morality of dropping the atomic bombs to end WWII. So you must address both parts 3) and 4). As always, show me you understand the relevant concepts and theories, by explaining your answers as you would for someone who has not had the benefit of taking class on moral theory. But avoid cut and paste plagiarism by putting your answer in your own words, instead of lifting them directly from my notes, the internet, or any of the assigned readings. Assume that decision to drop the atomic bombs, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was justified on act utilitarian grounds. Granted, hundreds of thousands of people were killed by the decision, including many civilians who, unlike those in the military, had not given up their claim on a right to life. But let's stipulate that, in this one instance, the bombings succeeded in preventing the deaths of many hundreds of thousands more people than they killed, and that there was no realistic alternative course of action that could have saved more. 3) Discuss how you would argue against that decision, on consequentialist grounds, if you were a rule utilitarian. Specify the two rules of actions you are comparing. An explain why a rule of action that forbids the use of nuclear bombs in this sort of case (or for this sort of purpose) is the better rule. AND 4) Then discuss how you would argue against the decision, on non-consequentialist grounds, if you were a proponent of Kant's deontology. Make sure to highlight the most salient practical and theoretical differences in the two approaches. Compare and contrast how they arrive at the same conclusion--that dropping the bombs was wrong--by appealing to rules or maxims, but via completely different decision procedures and for completely different reasons.
