Who said The needs of the many outweigh few or one?

The phrase "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or one" is commonly attributed to Spock, a Vulcan character in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. Spock often used this line to justify difficult decisions that prioritized the greater good over the interests of an individual or a small group. The phrase reflects the Vulcan philosophy of valuing logic and the common good above personal emotions and desires.
