I'm afraid the utilitarian vs deontological argument will never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, because ultimately it depends on what axioms you choose to believe in. Personally, I stick by my conviction that utility cannot be assigned a cardinal, but only an ordinal number. You can't do math with ordinals apart from comparison operations, therefore dooming any attempt at a calculus of utility from the get-go.
