Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism is a civilization of production and of use, a civilization of things and not of persons, a civilization in which persons are used in the same way as things are used...To be convinced that this is the case, one need only to look at certain sexual education programmes introduced into the schools, often notwithstanding the disagreement and even the protests of many parents. (Pontifical Council for the Family: The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, 1995).
