Moral Theory

Option that can be done is "moral theory" that provides a framework to make moral and ethical decisions

There is no "moral algorithm" to make decisions or answer.

Moral theory does not give the same answer.

Determinant of moral theory is ethical egoism. Thinking: the action can be accepted on the basis of its own interests. example: Kills robber in self-defense

Determinant of moral theory

Utilitarianism ==> action is received when it provides benefits to the people. Example: the use of DDT to fight malaria.

Analysis: Specify the target audience. Specify damages, profits, and the weight on the target audience. Evaluation function of happiness for every action

Analysis of rights

Rationale: prioritize the most important rights. Example: lying to the kidnappers to rescue prisoners
