Against the thesis that permanently unconscious persons cannot be harmed, and thus are not owed moral deference, it is argued that even the dead can be harmed and are owed moral respect, so a fortiori those dubiously or not quite dead deserve some moral deference.
有一种观点认为，永久无意识的人不会受到伤害，因此不应得到道德尊重。对此观点，有人反驳称，即便死者也会受到伤害且应得到道德尊重，所以更不用说那些处于疑似死亡或尚未完全死亡状态的人理应得到一些道德尊重。
