The Survival Lottery is a thought experiment, proposed by the philosopher John Harris. The basis of the idea is to ask people to imagine if organ donation were expected to save more individuals than it would kill. Hypothetically all individuals are assigned a number and drawn out of ''lottery'' when a donation is needed, and are expected to give up their lives to allow two or more people to live. ==Arguments for== The argument for the survival lottery can be as follows: # Imagine that organ donation was perfect. # There is no difference between killing and letting die. # Given 1 and 2 we should adopt the Survival Lottery. The article is a direct challenge to the belief that there is a difference between killing and letting die, and an exploration of the moral consequences that follow from this. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The survival lottery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
