David Shaw's response to Hugh McLachlan's criticism of his proposed new perspective on euthanasia is ineffectual, mistaken and unfair. It is false to say that the latter does not present an argument to support his claim that there is a moral difference between killing and letting die. It is not the consequences alone of actions that constitute their moral worth. It can matter too what duties are breached or fulfilled by the particular moral agents who are involved.
大卫·肖对休·麦克拉克兰对其提出的安乐死新观点的批评的回应是无效的、错误的和不公平的。说后者没有提出一个论据来支持他的说法，即杀人与听任死亡之间存在道德差异，这是不正确的。构成行为道德价值的不仅仅是行为的后果。涉及的特定道德代理人违反或履行了哪些义务也很重要。
