摘要

这篇文章从伦理角度分析了为什么今天活着的人对后代有义务，以及为什么医生除了帮助提高病人的生活质量外，还有义务帮助一些病人面对自己的死亡和人类的灭绝。这篇文章论证了许多临床医生倾向于表达的观点——每天，每次一个病人——支持人类灭绝预防作为一个医学项目的伦理价值观。

Medicine, Futures, and the Prevention of Human Extinction.

This article draws a parallel between ethical reasons why people alive today have obligations to members of future generations and ethical reasons why physicians have obligations, besides helping improve patients' quality of life, to help some patients confront their own deaths and human extinction. This article argues for the view that many clinicians tend to express-daily, and one patient at a time-ethical values that support human extinction prevention as a project of medicine.

期刊介绍： The AMA Journal of Ethics exists to help medical students, physicians and all health care professionals navigate ethical decisions in service to patients and society. The journal publishes cases and expert commentary, medical education articles, policy discussions, peer-reviewed articles for journal-based and audio CME, visuals, and more. Since its inception as an editorially-independent journal, we promote ethics inquiry as a public good.
