Suppose that two patients in the ICU, whose chance of survival is 95% with a potential kidney donor, are deteriorating to death now. Would you kill an unidentified patient with irreversible coma whose kidney is a perfect match for the other two patients​

Sagot :

Answer:

No

Explanation:

If I am the doctor/surgeon the lack of organs  is not within my control. What happened to  the two patients may be tragic but it is  beyond my control

.

It is the responsibility of a doctor to give  equal care to all patients even for the  patient with irreversible coma.  Doing things for the greater good is  not good enough reason to sacrifice a life.

If let's say the doctor decided not to kill the  patient and instead ask the relatives to donate the  organs, this decision is also unacceptable because  this will influence the relative's decision them  the unnecessary dilemma and  basically guilt-tripping them.
