Wait wait don't tell me. One of you happens to think that human beings are infinitely valuable and should respect certain rights and duties regardless of consequence and the other guy thinks that good and bad can be summed into some kind of.... utility function that can determine if you should do something or not. Then guy one will counter attack: You could just enslave a minority to make the majority happy! Then guy two will make his counter: You could have everyone respect everyone to death while everyone is miserable! ...and so it goes on and on. A nasty syndrome. A classic case of Kant vs Mill. There will be no rest tonight. I'm not super familiar with his work, but I've heard the popular guy these days is Rawls and his theory of justice. Maybe give him a look?
