ON HELPING ONE'S NEIGHBOR

Few people doubt that severe poverty is a pressing moral issue. But what sorts of obligations, if any, do affluent people have toward the severely poor? If one accepts the idea that one has some obligations to the severely poor there still remains disagreement about the magnitude of this obligation and when it obtains. I consider Peter Singer's influential “shallow pond” argument, which holds that affluent people have greater obligations toward the severely poor than ordinary moral judgments suggest. Critics hold that Singer's view is excessively demanding and therefore untenable. I thus turn to the parable of the Good Samaritan and Christian accounts of neighbor‐love to help attenuate this criticism. Drawing from Christian conversations on neighbor‐love, I attempt to demonstrate that accepting an obligation to assist does not necessarily result in one abandoning one's special relations, abnegating self‐regard, or no longer pursuing other non‐moral strivings.     

重症胰腺炎外科治疗观之辩

分析了当前外科治疗重症胰腺炎（ＳＡＰ）原则仍然不能提高手术后生存率的原因，用辩证法的观点，剖析当代手术治疗ＳＡＰ的误区，提出判断ＳＡＰ手术时机的简易方法和ＳＡＰ开腹手术的基本原则，应该按照辩证法的观点来正确看待ＳＡＰ的手术时机，应该用发展的眼光来分析传统治疗ＳＡＰ的手术方法，不能用一成不变的观点对待传统的手术方式，不能照搬书本教条，不能违背外科手术的基本原则。只有这样才有助于提高外科治疗ＳＡＰ的成功率。
