In an earlier article in this journal, I advanced five ethical arguments in favour of a voluntary, unpaid system of blood donation. In his reply to my article, Hugh McLachlan criticised one of those arguments, namely, the argument that an unpaid system promotes altruism and social solidarity. In this reply to Dr. McLachlan, I maintain that his criticism is misguided, and that he appears unclear not only about my own argument, but also about his own.
在本期刊之前的一篇文章中，我提出了五条支持无偿献血志愿体系的伦理论据。在对我文章的回复中，休·麦克拉克伦批评了其中一条论据，即无偿献血体系能促进利他主义和社会团结这一论据。在对麦克拉克伦博士的回复中，我坚持认为他的批评是错误的，而且他似乎不仅对我自己的论据不清楚，对他自己的论据也不清楚。
