State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statements:Utility is ethically neutral. ORThe concept of utility has no moral or ethical consideration.

Answer»

Yes, I agree with this statement.

Utility is morally colourless concept.

As long as a commodity possesses the want satisfying power, it has utility for a person irrespective of the fact that the commodity is good or bad, desirable or undesirable, moral or immoral.

e.g., Knife has the utility for both a killer (for stabbing) and a housewife (as kitchen appliance).

Similarly liquor has utility to a drunkard but from ethical point of view their consumption may be undesirable .
