LeBron is writing a paper on how utilitarianism applies to animals. Which statement would be an example of the objectivity (scientific rationality) of utilitarianism? All animals have the same inherent dignity and the right not to be treated as a mere means to another’s ends. Science shows that animals experience pleasure and pain, and so those experiences should be considered when reasoning about moral actions. Humans have always treated animals as lesser beings, and so that means that we are right to continue doing so. Only the pleasure and pain of humans matter because only humans have an immaterial soul.
