“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.” So spoke Spock, in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and in so doing spawned both a popular catchphrase in geekdom, and a common summarization of utilitarianism. The goal of utilitarianism, quite simply, is to maximize happiness and to minimize harm (Nathanson), although this can mean that minorities in a group are ignored or injured in favor of the majority. Some argue that the benefits of utilitarianism outweigh the costs, but other say that every individual must be considered, not just the group as a whole.

Throughout our lives, we are plagued by the notion of ‘ethics’ or morals - the basis of our everyday behavior. The medical field is no exception, with doctors constantly reminded of the ethical duties they must carry out for each of their patients. An example of unethical doctors is demonstrated in Daniel Keyes’s short story, Flowers for Algernon.
