Discussion

Deontological ethics is the position in normative ethics that assess the decency of an act based on the act's obedience to a rules and regulations. It is at times illustrated as "obligation" or "duty" and "rule" -based ethics, since rules "bind you to your duty". Deontology is frequently distinguished from consequentialism. Deontology is also compared to pragmatic ethics. In view of above case, we can employ the endeavors of F. Kamm who in his book "Principle of Permissible Harm" had tried to draw a deontological restraint which go together with our case judgments under discussion. It also relies closely on Kant's Categorical Imperative.
