Much of the opinion scandalized by recent reports of kidneys being sold for transplant is significantly inconsistent. The sale of kidneys is not substantially different from practices espoused, and indeed endorsed, by many of those who condemn the former. Our moral concern, I suggest, needs to focus on the customer's actions rather than the seller's; and on the implications for larger questions of the considerations to which this gives rise.
近期有关肾脏被售卖用于移植的报道引发了诸多义愤填膺的看法，但这些看法大多自相矛盾。肾脏买卖与许多谴责前者的人所支持甚至认可的行为并无本质区别。我认为，我们的道德关注点应聚焦于买家的行为而非卖家的行为；以及由此引发的对于更重大问题的思考所带来的影响。
