UTILITARIANISM
A Utilitarian perspective is one where the decision is based on the belief of finding the greatest good for the greatest number of people. An example of this could be examined by looking at welfare. The government has decided that small sacrifices from the wealthy to benefit the poor does the greatest good. This makes money do the greatest good for the greatest amount of people because the money is more essential for the survival of the poor than the wealthy.
In relation to genetically modified foods:
GMOs can be used to create an increased crop rate at a lower price and therefore can be used to solve the problem of world hunger. Introducing GMOs to third world countries can conserve labor, resources, and land. Nutritional value and vaccines added to the crops can improve life in the countries. These proven benefits outweigh the fact that allergies and effects on wild plants are only potential
