A 6 page paper discussing the philosophical morality of decisions made by Ford Motor Company before making the Pinto available for sale in 1971. The Pinto had the potential to become a fireball when struck from the rear and Ford was aware of the Pinto's design shortcomings. It released the model rather than fix the problems, however, and many deaths were attributed to the Pinto over the next seven years. The paper discusses Kant, Rawls and Mill as the philosophers offering potential frames of reference. The paper chooses Mill's utilitarianism as the most appropriate for the Pinto case. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
