How would utilitarian and deontological ethics evaluate killing a serial killer and then taking your own life? Does the scale of the killer's crimes matter?
A man discovered a serial killer who had murdered 50 people. He shot the killer then immediately took his own life. How would utilitarian and deontological ethics evaluate this act?
Does the number of victims change the moral evaluation? What if the killer had only murdered one person? What about 2000?
