Savulescu maintains that our paper, which encourages clinicians to honour requests for "inappropriate treatment" is prejudicial to his atheistic beliefs, and therefore wrong. In this paper we clarify and expand on our ideas, and respond to his assertion that medicine, ethics and atheism are objective, rational and true, while religion is irrational and false.
萨夫勒斯库坚称,我们鼓励临床医生满足“不适当治疗”请求的论文,对他的无神论信仰有偏见,因此是错误的。在本文中,我们阐明并扩展了我们的观点,并回应了他的断言,即医学、伦理学和无神论是客观、理性且正确的,而宗教是不理性且错误的。
