I thank the commentators for their attention to my article and the Journal of Medical Ethics for the opportunity to respond. My goal is to make sound arguments, not to increase donation rates.1 I do not know what social value, if any, these arguments have.2 I am motivated to present them because using false principles and unsound arguments to defend the dead donor rule (DDR) makes it easier for those who deny an egalitarian view of moral status to promote euthanasia and other offences against human life.
