*"Asses whether Utilitarianism can help us decide whether it is ever morally right to kill"

Please help, I am totally stuck. It is worth 24 marks.

I don't know what to write: abortion? euthenasia? We haven't covered them, though! I don't know if I should write about act, rule, preference utilitarianism and so on..

Philsophy is very quickly turning into my worst subject. :rolleyes:

Please help if you can.

well, killing someone id say could be justified if you look at euthanasia and abortion, id mention them i think.
also, that highlights one of the problems with the theory. if killing brings the most happiness for the most people (sadists etc) then can it really be justified?
