Organ transplantation is a technologic marvel that can prolong life, improve the quality of life, and reduce the total health care costs in people who have end-stage renal, heart, and liver disease. Allocation of scarce resources has social, moral, and ethical implications. Some causes of end-stage disease are preventable. The question arises as to whether the limited resources should be allocated to people who could have prevented their disease. The moral and medical arguments for organ allocation are discussed.
器官移植是一项技术奇迹，它可以延长生命、提高生活质量，并降低终末期肾病、心脏病和肝病患者的总体医疗费用。稀缺资源的分配具有社会、道德和伦理意义。一些终末期疾病的病因是可以预防的。于是就出现了一个问题，即有限的资源是否应该分配给那些本可以预防自身疾病的人。本文讨论了器官分配在道德和医学方面的论据。
