You wake up one morning and find yourself back-to-back in bed with an
unconscious violinist�a famous unconscious violinist. (Let�s call him Mr. K.) He
has been found to have a fatal kidney ailment, and the Society of Music Lovers
has canvassed all the available medical records and found that you alone have
the right blood type to help. They have therefore kidnapped you, and last night
Mr. K's circulatory system was plugged into yours, so that your kidneys can be
used to extract poisons from his blood as well as your own.
The director of the hospital now tells you, �Look, we're sorry the Society of
Music Lovers did this to you�we would never have permitted it if we had known.
But still, they did it, and Mr. K is now plugged into you. To unplug you would
be to kill him. But never mind, it�s only for nine months. By then he will have
recovered from his ailment, and can safely be unplugged from you.� Is it morally
incumbent on you to accede to this situation? No doubt it would be very nice of
you if you did; it would be a great kindness. But do you have the moral
obligation to accede to it? (What if it were not 9 months, but 9 years? Or even
longer?
