covers the moral theories of Mill’s utilitarianism, Kant’sdeontology, and Aristotle’s virtue ethics. No other moral theoriesare permitted on this contains three moral dilemmas, each of whichmust be solved using a different moral theory. Be sure to cite yoursources.

Solve each of the following dilemmas using one of the followingtheories: Mill's utilitarianism, Kant's deontology, or Aristotle'svirtue ethics. Explain the different aspects of the theory you areusing, and clearly show how that theory prescribes a certain actionfor the person involved in the dilemma. Be as thorough andcomplete as possible. Remember, this is not a test of youropinion; it is a test of correct application of moral theories. Youmust give a precise answer to the bolded questions at the end ofeach passage. Once you have used a moral theory, you cannotuse it again. By the end of the you should haveused all three theories once. For , if you useutilitarianism to solve the first dilemma, you must use eitherdeontology or virtue ethics to solve the second dilemma, and theremaining theory to solve the last dilemma. There is NO \"correct\"theory to use for a particular dilemma; that decision is entirelyup to you. You may find it easier to use a particular theory for aparticular dilemma, and if so, do so. You DO NOT need to explainwhy you have chosen to use that particular theory. Good luck!

Jack has been told of an alleged plot to take over an elementaryschool. The plot involves taking school children hostage, and thenexecuting the children until the terrorists’ demands are met. Atthis point, Jack is about 70% sure that theterrorist plot is a real, imminent threat.

Jack has been told that a man named Eli probably has knowledgeof the current whereabouts of one of the suspected terrorists. Eliis a well-trained spy of an enemy nation. Jack finds Eli at homewith Eli’s wife, and Jack breaks into the house and keeps Eli andthe wife prisoner. However, Eli claims to have no knowledgewhatsoever of the suspected terrorists, or of any terrorist plot.Jack knows that torturing Eli for information would be useless,since part of Eli’s spy-training prepared him not to give in tophysical torture. However, the wife has had no such training, andJack can tell that Eli loves his wife very much.
