In a recent commentary, S R Benatar criticised the debates over organ donation and kidney selling for being located within a "narrow and inadequate framework". Benatar levels four charges against those who engage in the current organs debate: that they myopically focus on saving lives; that they accept the dominance of market orientated approaches to health care; that they reify individualism, and that they engage in limited moral arguments. Given the importance of the organs debate it is imperative that the misunderstandings of it on which Benatar's criticisms are based are dispelled. Accordingly, I will consider and reject each of his objections in turn.
在最近的一篇评论中,S·R·贝纳塔尔批评了关于器官捐赠和肾脏买卖的辩论,认为这些辩论处于一个“狭隘且不充分的框架”内。贝纳塔尔对参与当前器官辩论的人提出了四项指控:他们目光短浅地专注于拯救生命;他们接受以市场为导向的医疗保健方法的主导地位;他们将个人主义具体化,以及他们进行有限的道德论证。鉴于器官辩论的重要性,必须消除贝纳塔尔批评所基于的对它的误解。因此,我将依次考虑并反驳他的每一项反对意见。
