Utilitarian vs Catholic Ethics: Two Starting Points
First, utilitarianism. It asks what reduces harm and increases well-being for everyone affected. If a choice protects health and hurts no one, it counts as good. Now Catholic teaching. It starts from natural law and human dignity: that our bodies and relationships have a built-in purpose we should respect, which shapes its stance on both topics. One looks at outcomes. The other looks at meaning. Same questions, different starting points. Here's where I land. I won't tell you who's right. Real people live inside these questions, with real faith and real health needs. So listen first. Disagree kindly. Keep talking — that conversation matters more than any quick verdict.
