Is it morally wrong to take a life? Not really, say bioethicists

BioEdge: Is it morally wrong to take a life? Not really, say bioethicists: Is it morally wrong to kill people? Not really, argue two eminent American bioethicists in an early online article in the Journal of Medical Ethics. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, of Duke University, and Franklin G. Miller, of the National Institutes of Health believe that “killing by itself is not morally wrong, although it is still morally wrong to cause total disability.” Ultimately their aim is to justify organ donation after cardiac death (DCD).
