In this article, I press a line of objection to Jonathan Quong's moral status account of liability to defensive harm. The claim on which I rest my critique is captured by the article's title: if one can’t lose such a right in these circumstances, one never had it in the first place.

如果在这些情况下不能失去这样的权利，那么一开始就没有它

在这篇文章中，我对 Jonathan Quong 对防御性伤害责任的道德地位解释提出反对意见。我的批评所依据的主张体现在这篇文章的标题中：如果一个人在这种情况下不能失去这样的权利，那么他一开始就从未拥有过。
