Daniels has discussed this subject in other publications as well. See, e.g., Daniels, N., Am I My Parents’ Keeper? in President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research, Securing Access to Health Care: The Ethical Implications of Differences in the Availability of Health Services (U.S. Gov't Printing Ofc., Washington, D.C.) (vol. 2: Appendices, Sociocultural and Philosophical Studies) (1983) at 265. The title of this editorial is, obviously, a parody of Daniels’ title.
