Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 9, Problem 9.1UYK
Explanation of Solution
Categorical Imperative:
Categorical imperative is that in all situations, the complete requirements must be followed and it should be acceptable as an end in it.
- The Patrick Fusion Software that advises doctors is paid for by Merck, a Pharmaceutical company.
- According to Categorical Imperative, it is not ethical, as it is observed that the doctors who use the software recommendation services prescribed 73% more vaccinations as compared to the group who did not use the services.
Therefore, the pharmaceutical company may intentionally recommend more vaccinate owned by it for increase in sales, which could harm the patients.
Utilitarian Perspective:
Utilitarianism states that the best action is the action which is beneficial for the greater good and maximizes utility.
