摘要：Janet Radcliff e Richards’ The Ethics of Transplants outlines a novel framework for
moral inquiry in practical contexts and applies it to the topic of paid living kidney
donation. In doing so, Radcliff e Richards makes two key claims: that opponents of
organ markets bear the burden of proof, and that this burden has not yet been satisfi
ed. This paper raises four related objections to Radcliff e Richards’ methodological
framework, focusing largely on how Radcliff e Richards uses this framework in her
discussion of kidney sales. We conclude that Radcliff e Richards’ method of inquiry
hinders our ability to answer the very question that it ought to help us resolve: What
is there best reason to do, all things considered.
