One of the most distressing problems with Utilitarianism is that it seems to be at odds with traditional notions of justice and human rights. We have seen that Utilitarianism responds to this issue by urging us to dispose of those traditional notions. What would be the implications of such a shift in our fundamental thinking and approach to societal relationships? Is it possible to imagine a scenario where abandoning our traditional notions of justice and human rights would be the morally right action? Where it would be the Utilitarian answer but still wrong? In our search for a guiding principle for both business and society, would a new vision of justice and human rights conceived under the Principle of Utility serve society in the same way as our traditional notions? Why or why not? How?

. The late Supreme Court JusticeAntonin Scalia argued that because courts are not electedrepresentative bodies, they have no business determining certaincr4itical social issues. He wrote:

Judges are selected precisely fortheir skill as lawyers; whether they reflect the policy views of aparticular constituency is not (or should not be) relevant. Notsurprisingly then, the Federal Judiciary is hardly a cross-sectionof America. Take, for example, this Court, which consists of onlynine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied atHarvard or Yale Law School. Four if the nine are natives of NewYork City. Eight of them grew up in east-and west-coast States.Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between. Not a singleSouth-westerner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner(California does not count.) Not a single evangelical Christian (agroup that comprises about one quarter of Americans), or even aProtestant of any denomination. To allow [an important socialissue] to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highlyunrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even morefundamental than no taxation without representation: no socialtransformation without representation.
