  When and why is it right to kill?
When and why is it wrong? Torbjörn Tännsjö examines three theories on the ethics of killing in this book:
deontology, a libertarian moral rights theory, and utilitarianism. The implications of each theory are worked out for
different kinds of killing: trolley-cases, murder, capital punishment, suicide, assisted death, abortion, killing in
war, and the killing of animals. These implications are confronted with our intuitions in relation to them, and our
moral intuitions are examined in turn. Only those intuitions that survive an understanding of how we have come to hold
them are seen as 'considered' intuitions. The idea is that the theory that can best explain the content of our
considered intuitions gains inductive support from them. We must transcend our narrow cultural horizons and avoid
certain cognitive mistakes in order to hold considered intuitions. In this volume, suitable for courses in ethics and
applied ethics, Tännsjö argues that in the final analysis utilitarianism can best account for, and explain, our
considered intuitions about all these kinds of killing.
  
  Review
  "In this splendidly engaging book,
Torbjörn Tännsjö surveys a range of moral problems of killing -- such as capital punishment, euthanasia,
abortion, war, and the killing of animals -- through the lenses of three moral theories: deontology, rights theory, and
utilitarianism. His main aim is to find the true theory by testing the three candidates' implications against considered
intuitions about the problems (and a provisional winner does emerge). But he also aims to reach the truth about the
problems. These are ambitious aims but Tännsjö makes impressive progress, which the reader can follow without
difficulty, as the writing is lucid and accessible throughout." 
  - Jeff McMahan, White's Professor of Moral
Philosophy, University of Oxford
