Thomson's famous analogy implicitly calls into question the natural law view on killing the innocent.

Assume that you awake one morning to find a violinist with bad kidneys hooked up to your body. He will die unless he uses your kidneys for nine months, but you did not agree that he could use them. Would you be within your rights to insist that he be detached? What if he needs your body for 50 years? Or only one hour? If you had to kill him to detach him would you be justified in doing so? Or must you simply change your life?

The violinist is innocent and he is not a threat to anyone's life. Yet he reduces your freedom and he had no right to make use of your kidneys. What can you do to defend your freedom?
