Here is the argument associated with the Case of Grandpa. What is the main idea behind
premise 2?
1. If AU were true, then Grandpa would be morally required to work in the soup kitchen
every day it would maximize utility.
2. It's not the case that Grandpa is morally required to work in the soup kitchen every day
when doing so would maximize utility.
3. Therefore, it's not the case that AU is true.
AU is true.
Grandpa is morally required to work in the soup kitchen every single day, even when
it doesn't maximize utility.
It is morally wrong for Grandpa to volunteer for the soup kitchen.
It is not Grandpa's responsibility to help at the soup kitchen every single day; he already did his part.
Plus, he has a right to enjoy his retirement in peace.
