Student 1. I find the consequentialist approach most reasonable. I find it most reasonable because taking the consequentialist approach, the outcome would be for the greater good. An example would be if there was a disease that was reducing the human population. There is one little child that has specific genes to cure this disease. However, in order to cure the disease, the child would have to be sacrificed. Going with the consequentialist approach, sacrificing one child for the sake of humanity (human population) would be the best solution. The non-consequentialist approach would not even sacrifice the child, even if it meant wiping the human population off the face of the Earth. The non-consequentialist approach would not sacrifice the child because they would think it is wrong to kill people.
