This paper reviews objections to the proposal to allow parents of anencephalics to donate their infant's organs for transplantation and finds them unpersuasive. Instead, interpretations of 'Baby Doe' legislation, a 'higher-brain' functional conception of death, the idea of 'viability' in many abortion statutes, and the wishes of many patients, give strong support for the proposal for organ transplantation using anencephalics.
本文回顾了对允许无脑儿的父母捐赠其婴儿器官用于移植这一提议的反对意见,并发现这些意见缺乏说服力。相反,对“宝贝 Doe”法案的解读、关于死亡的“高级脑”功能概念、许多堕胎法规中的“存活性”概念以及许多患者的意愿,都为使用无脑儿进行器官移植的提议提供了有力支持。
