Utilitarianism
The Organ Lottery
The Scenario
Imagine a society where, when someone dies in an accident, their organs are automatically harvested to save multiple lives. This system saves thousands of lives each year. Now consider: would it be ethical to take this further? A "survival lottery" could randomly select one healthy person to be killed so their organs could save five others who need transplants.
