Sider and Clements provide a critical response to my view that there is no independent obligation to seek one's own health. They then argue that such an obligation exists. They are incorrect in their characterisation of my view; their critical discussion of the view they erroneously attribute to me is unconvincing; the positive argument they offer for their own view is unsatisfactory; they misjudge the significance of what is at issue; and they conclude by affirming a position that lacks a due regard for the rights of patients.
西德尔和克莱门茨对我的观点作出了批判性回应,我的观点是不存在追求自身健康的独立义务。然后他们论证说这样一种义务是存在的。他们对我的观点的描述是错误的;他们对他们错误地归属于我的观点的批判性讨论是没有说服力的;他们为自己的观点提供的正面论证是不令人满意的;他们错误判断了争议问题的重要性;并且他们通过肯定一个缺乏对患者权利应有尊重的立场来得出结论。
