Answer to Question #114683 in Other for Jules Rheanda Ly Ramiro

Question

A billionaire needs an organ transplant. He says that if he is given the next suitable organ he will fund 1000 hip-replacements a year for 10 years. Giving him the next available organ means Mr X, who was top of the list, will die - but it also means that thousands of people will be very happy with their new hips.

When viewed from a consequentialist stand point what will be the proper course of action in this case?

Is the same course of action true if we consider the case from a stand point of Duty- Based Ethics? Why or why nott?
