A mаn is in а cоmа in the intensive care unit, surviving оn a life-suppоrt system that, when unplugged, would shortly lead to death. He has been in this state for three months. It is unclear what his chances of recovery are. There are currently four patients in the hospital, one that needs new lungs, one a new kidney, one a new liver, and the other a new heart. This man lived a healthy lifestyle, and was in great shape before hospitalization. His organs are compatible with all four patients, and if a transplant is performed on all four, it is highly likely all would experience a full recovery. If they do not receive these organs in a timely manner, they will all die. In order to harvest the organs, the man must be unplugged from life support. From our discussions in class and from examples in our readings, describe the ethics of this case. What famous thought experiment is this case arguably analogous to? Consider the extent that beneficence, non-maleficence, the ethical issues of killing vs. letting die, and the ethical issues of euthanasia generally. Consider the benefits and harms of each choice (unplugging vs. unplugging). How would a utilitarian respond to this case? Would this differ from the deontologists’ response? Why or why not?
