Are withholding and withdrawing therapy always morally equivalent? A reply to Sulmasy and Sugarman.

John Harris.   

Abstract

This paper argues that Sulmasy and Sugarman have not succeeded in showing a moral difference between withholding and withdrawing treatment. In particular, they have misunderstood historical entitlement theory, which does not automatically prefer a first occupant by just acquisition.
