Utilitarianism is an approach to moral reasoning that requires us to anticipate or consider possible outcomes to our actions and judge the morality of those actions based on the positive or negative impact of these outcomes.
In The Watchmen, we encounter Dr. Manhattan who, as a result of a nuclear accident, now experiences time and space at a molecular level allowing him see all the eventual outcomes of actions but unable to change them. "The future is happening for me right now, like the present" is how he attempts to describe this.
Write a response approximately 200 words in length that explores how Dr. Manhattan's ability to know the outcomes of events in the future but being unable to change them might alter his moral reasoning from a utilitarian point of view. Is he capable of this sort of moral reasoning any more? Why or why not?
