The search for valuable new products from among the world's stock of natural biological resources is mostly carried out by people from wealthy countries, and mostly takes place in developing countries that lack the research capacity to profit from it. Surely, the indigenous people should receive some compensation from it. But we must build a robust defense for this intuition, rooted in the Western moral traditions that are widely accepted in wealthy countries, if we are to put it into practice and enforce it.
从全球自然生物资源中寻找有价值的新产品，主要是由富裕国家的人进行的，而且大多发生在缺乏从中获利的研究能力的发展中国家。土著人民当然应该从中得到一些补偿。但是，如果我们要将其付诸实践并加以执行，就必须为这种根植于西方道德传统的直觉建立一个强有力的防御机制，而这种道德传统在富裕国家被广泛接受。
