Suppose You Are Asked by the Local Hospital to Donate

question 4

True/False

Suppose you are asked by the local hospital to donate one of your kidneys to save the life of a stranger. Most of us would insist that you are not obligated to give away your kidney, even for a good cause, because it's your body, you have a right to it, and you are never obligated to make such a sacrifice. This analogy has been used to cast doubt on one of the premises of Peter Singer's argument that the wealthy have a moral duty to help the needy.
