No ethical outlook making a claim to rational justification can wholly disregard the principle of utility or the Kantian principle of equal respect for persons. They are grounded in common characteristics of human life and there are situations in which their application is clear and decisive.

Neither the principle of utility nor the Kantian principle of equal respect for others can be rationally disregarded. Both originate from the appreciation of human life, and are clearly and decisively applicable in many situations.

Anyone who wants to have a reasoned view of ethics must take into account the principal of utility or Kant's principal of equal respect for persons. Both of these ideas have to do with the way real life plays out for people, and you can isolate specific events in a person's experience where each idea can be applied in a clear ethical way.

No ethical outlook or creed can disregard the concept of equal respect for all persons, as they are based on the characteristics of human life, and can be clearly applied.

I think this may work...maybe.

Kant (ref info) regards; that rationalizing an action must be done in consideration to people; otherwise you can not call it rational.
