We have been faced with real time ethical dilemmas during this global pandemic. In April of last year, this article was published: https://www.cbs58.com/news/the-dangerous-morality-behind-the-open-it-up-movement .... You see the questions raised about the dangers of utilitarianism: "One of the biggest problems with utilitarianism is the ease with which it treats individual lives as mere means for social ends. Consider one famous thought experiment: Would you kill one healthy person to save the lives of five others who desperately need organ transplants?" The questions guiding us for our discussion are: 1. What are some potential positive applications of utilitarianism when it comes to facing the danger of the Covid-19 pandemic? (For example, is it positive to apply the greater good theory to wearing masks?) 2. Do you see the potential negative impacts of utilitarianism when applied to the pandemic? (For example: let's keep schools open because the consequences of keeping students home for learning for another year is much more dangerous than the lives at risk to keep schools open)
