Natural Rights is another theory under the school of consequentialism that would support John’s decision in the movie. Naturals rights is the belief that all human beings are endowed by their Creator (God or nature) with certain rights. This is based on the philosophy of John Locke, who said that we are all born with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and property. In John Q’s case, the hospital had the means to save his son’s life, but chose to deny him that right because of a monetary issue. In addition, being that this theory is teleological ethical approach, it determines right and wrong on the basis of a goal. John Q’s goal was honest and admirable, which justified his “evil act”.
