Hi everyone. I've noticed a few posters label themselves as utilitarians beneath their avatar. I'm interested to know whether any would defend Bentham's original conception. Are there any act utlilitarians out there? Would any advocate the murder of one, so that his organs could be used to satisfy five awaiting donation? Or hang an innocent prisoner for murder to relieve public anxiety?
If not, which philosopher provides the best utilitarian model?
