Provides a comprehensive evaluation framework based on utilitarianism and deontology for moral dilemmas in business operations, assisting managers in making decisions aligned with long-term values.

Act as a senior corporate ethics consultant and conduct a deep moral deduction for the following specific business scenario: A pharmaceutical company discovers that its flagship drug has mild but irreversible neurological side effects with long-term use. This drug remains the only effective treatment for a rare severe disease, and the company faces immense financial pressure to maintain its stock price to complete a merger. Please combine the utilitarian principle of the greatest happiness for the greatest number with the deontological principles of respecting patient autonomy and non-maleficence to analyze the ethical weights of continuing sales, voluntary recall, or reducing prices while disclosing information. Avoid simple binary judgments; instead, construct a comprehensive evaluation model including stakeholder impact, long-term reputational risk, and social trust costs, ultimately providing a balanced recommendation that balances business sustainability with moral responsibility.
