Baker and McCullough (2007) criticize a 1979 article by this author for insufficiently appreciating how physicians have appropriated ideas from moral philosophy. This rejoinder argues that the two articles are complementary. The 1979 article summarized evidence that leading physicians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries appropriated ideas from moral philosophy and related disciplines that reinforced their political goals of self-regulation and dominance of the allocation of resources for health. In retrospect the 1979 article also urged bioethicists to appropriate ideas from other disciplines, including moral philosophy, which would contribute to improving the health of populations.
贝克和麦卡洛（2007年）批评了作者在1979年发表的一篇文章，认为该文对医生如何借鉴道德哲学思想的理解不够充分。本回应认为这两篇文章是相辅相成的。1979年的文章总结了证据，表明19世纪和20世纪的主要医生借鉴了道德哲学及相关学科的思想，这些思想强化了他们自我监管以及主导健康资源分配的政治目标。回顾来看，1979年的文章还敦促生物伦理学家借鉴包括道德哲学在内的其他学科的思想，这将有助于改善民众的健康状况。
