The survey link can be moved to references
[edit]The survey link mentioned in the last paragraph seems to be for good research. But, it provides very general feedback. The link seems more like an advertisement. I think we can do away with the link. Or, include it in the references than the main article itself.

I agree. That paragraph does not seem to fit in the article.

Get rid of "examples"
[edit]I move to get rid of these two sentences:
- This focus may be due in part to the influence of utilitarianism, the consequentialist belief that morality can be measured by the overall yield of happiness (utility) that results from a particular action. One example of a significant influence of this theory is the importance of cost-benefit analysis in Western economic theory.
The first is only a common misunderstanding of utilitarianism ("greatest satisfaction to greatest number" says nothing about now vs. later). The second sounds extremely speculative and I can't imagine how one would go about citing a reference.
Some mention of utilitarianism and CBA might belong in this article, but as it stands now it adds nothing.
