Rule Utilitarianism - to live by rules that in general, are likely to lead to the greatest good for the greatest number

 

According to Rule Utilitarianism – 

“We ought to live by rules that in general, 

are likely to lead to the greatest good for the greatest number."

For this theory maximizing utility in the long run 
            is much more important than maximizing utility in the short run. 

Harvesting your neighbor’s organs would lead to a general unhappiness with people afraid of losing their organs at any time, so a rule utilitarian would not promote that. 

However a rule utilitarian might be ok with this example.  

Only cross at the cross walk when the walking signal comes on.  

Would a Rule Utilitarian be ok with the death penalty?
