Consequentialist: Whether an action is good or evil depends only on the consequences of that action. Deontologist: Not true. Sometimes bad actions can have good results, or vice versa. For example, should a doctor kill one healthy patient, cut his organs out, and redistribute them to the five sick dying patients who would be saved by those organs? Obviously not. This would have good results on net—four lives saved! But it's still murder, and therefore evil, so morality isn't determined by consequences.
