Removing the clean-up tag until a more specific reason is given. It's a stub - stubs by definition need development. A clean-up tag serves no purpose at this point. Rabidwolfe 16:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Stubs invariably gather dust. The clean-up tag points out that the article needs attention: e.g., format/style. -- Robocoder (talk | contribs) 02:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roots

I have tagged the statement, "Its roots are in the existentialist movement of the early 20th century." as it lacks a source, and as it stands, appears to conflict with published works that suggest alternate roots:

• In his book, William J. Newman associates "The Futilitarian Society" (1961) with conservatism.
• In "Voting Rites: The Devolution of American Politics" (1999), Ron Hirschbein writes, "Utilitarianism has been supplanted by futilitarianism."

[edit] Cleanup

I would like a more specific message about cleanup. Perhaps this should be reclassified as a medical ethics stub rather than a philosophy one? Rabidwolfe 22:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
