A:In the 1850s an attempt was made in Utah by the LDS Church-owned Deseret Manufacturing Company to grow and process sugar beets, that failed for several reasons. First, the beet seeds they imported from France were not able to produce much sugar in the heavily salinized soil of Utah. Second, the cost of importing the beet seed from France consumed any possibility for profit. Finally, a majority of the people running the factory resented the time and effort they had put into learning how to properly use the chemicals to separate the sugar from the beet pulp, since none ever had the chance to really put that knowledge to work. B:If, in a pair of latter-day miracles, the company had been able to find suitable soil and also secure a steady supply of affordable seeds, would the factories and the labor pool already be prepared to start refining sugar, just as soon as the harvest was ready?

A:Another consequentialist version is motive consequentialism, which looks at whether the state of affairs that results from the motive to choose an action is better or at least as good as each of the alternative state of affairs that would have resulted from alternative actions. This version gives relevance to the motive of an act and links it to its consequences. An act can therefore not be wrong if the decision to act was based on a right motive. A possible inference is, that one can not be blamed for mistaken judgments if the motivation was to do good. B:Do pure intentions mean a harmful act should be forgiven? Answer: larger
