What does "utilitarian" mean?

The school of thought that states that suffering must be eradicated at all costs. The ultimate aim therefore of negative utilitarianism is to destroy all life. This aim is often termed global suicide.
Many philosophers reject negative utilitarianism as being a terrible moral system because it asks for the destruction of life, which is normally considered very painful to all involved.
However, achieving NU'ism goal will have no adverse effects because there will be no one around to observe them and decided that they are bad effects.

I believe in the values of negative utilitarianism. If you want to know why I haven't killed myself yet; ask a chain smoker why he hasn't stopped smoking even though it is ruining him and he wants to quit.

Utilitarian

A philosophy that people should act in order to increase the frequency and longevity of pleasure throughout the world. Although the idea acting to increase long-term and global pleasure sounds desirable, Utilitarians believe that the pleasure of many outweigh pleasure of few. A Utilitarian may believe that killing one person in order to increase the pleasure of many or killing someone and harvesting their organs would be a just action. Some Utilitarians have seen that this can be dangerous; many Utilitarians, because of this, follow a slightly different ideology that they should act to increase the frequency and longevity of pleasure throughout the world by following the best social standards.

People who believe in Utilitarianism believe that it is all right to kill one person, take their organs and distribute them to many.
