One example where consequentialism, particularly utilitarianism, can lead to injustice is in the context of minority rights. Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall happiness or well-being, often by considering the majority's interests or preferences. In situations where the interests of the majority conflict with those of a minority group, utilitarian calculations might justify actions that disregard or infringe upon the rights of the minority for the perceived greater good of the majority. In situations where there is a shortage of medical resources, such as hospital beds, ventilators, or life-saving medications, utilitarian calculations might prioritize the allocation of resources based on maximizing the number of lives saved or the number of years of life gained. This approach could lead to the allocation of resources primarily to patients with a higher likelihood of survival or greater expected quality of life, often at the expense of those deemed less likely to benefit significantly from treatment. reply to this
