This paper considers two arguments that are common in the literature on organ sales. First, organ sales are exploitative and therefore should not be permitted. Second, it doesn't matter whether organ sales are exploitative or not; the only thing that matters is that we do what is in the interests of those who need to be protected. In this paper, I argue that both of these arguments are too simplistic. My intention, however, is not to argue for or against organ sales. My conclusion, rather, is simply that we cannot hope to address the issue of organ sales if we lack a good understanding of exploitation. We should not attempt to answer the question of whether or not organ sales should be banned on the grounds that they are exploitative without acknowledging and addressing the nuances involved in understanding exploitation.
本文考虑了器官买卖文献中常见的两个论点。首先，器官买卖是剥削性的，因此不应被允许。其次，器官买卖是否具有剥削性并不重要；唯一重要的是我们要做符合那些需要被保护的人的利益的事情。在本文中，我认为这两个论点都过于简单化。然而，我的目的不是为器官买卖辩护或反对。我的结论只是，如果我们对剥削缺乏充分的了解，那么我们就无法解决器官买卖的问题。我们不应该仅仅因为器官买卖具有剥削性而试图回答是否应该禁止器官买卖这个问题，而不承认和解决理解剥削的细微差别。
