Can Mill's Utilitarianism be saved?

Talking Philosophy offers a fresh look at one of the favourite ethical theories amongst Abbeyfield students - Utilitarianism. The linked article takes a good look at Mill's utilitarianism but concludes perhaps that Mill's utilitarianism is still tarred with the same brush as Bentham's and therefore falls to the same weaknesses. Again useful food for thought ahead of A level exams.
