Essay #4 (application essay) Length: Your essay should be 2-3 pages, though you can write more if you wish. Topic: Identify one contemporary moral issue or morally ambiguous situation and provide a utilitarian analysis of it. Your goal here is to discuss how one might approach the morality of your selected issue/situation using the concepts and arguments of Mill’s Utilitarianism. In particular, you must use both the GHP as well as any relevant secondary principles. What is the morally right thing to do (in Mill’s sense) with regard to this issue or situation? Be open to the possibility that the utilitarian conclusion in regard to the issue might differ from your own. The following are some sample topics. You are free to develop an alternate topic, so long as you discuss it with me first: • Is it morally acceptable to use capital punishment (the death penalty)? • Is it morally acceptable to seek or perform euthanasia? • Is it morally acceptable to seek or perform an abortion? • Is it morally acceptable to eat meat and/or animal products? • Should the police or FBI be permitted to torture a prisoner who (it is believed) has information about an immanent terrorist attack? • Should professional or Olympic athletes be permitted to use performance-enhancing drugs? • Should faculty-student romantic/sexual relationships be permitted or prohibited? • You are friends with Jim and Laurel (who are in a relationship); one day Jim confides in you that he is cheating on Laurel. Should you keep this a secret?
