 Given that determining the action that produces the most utility is not always so clear cut, Mill suggests that the utilitarian moral agent, when attempting to rank the utility of different actions, should refer to the general experience of persons.That is, if people generally experience more happiness following action "X" than they do action "Y", the utilitarian should conclude that action "X" produces more utility than, and is thus favorable to, action Y.Is Utilitarianism a species of "consequentialism", that is, are acts means are justified by their desirable outcomes?
