Utilitarianism, in the context of the question, is the ethical principle that suggests making decisions based on the greatest good for the greatest number. It implies that the morally right action is the one that maximizes overall happiness or well-being, even if it means sacrificing an individual (like your mother) to save more people (the 5 on the track).
