I have myself heard a man, educated, and a large owner of sheep and cattle, maintain that there was no more harm in shooting an Aboriginal, than in shooting a wild dog. I have heard it
maintained by others that it is the course of Providence (God), that Aboriginals should disappear
before the white, and the sooner the process was carried out the better, for all parties. I fear such
opinions are popular to a great extent. - Bishop Polding, 1845

In writing about her findings in a brazilian shantytown, nancy scheper-hughes’s account of alto do cruzeiro provides a window into the terrible toll of nonconsensual organ harvesting among the poor, as well as how she herself changed over time. how might an anthropologist justify the publication of this ethnographic research when considering the problem of ethnographic authority? a. all of the poor must be given an equal voice, thus polyvocality is justification. b. anthropologists are themselves changed in fieldwork, and so honest reflexivity is justification. c. the horrific conditions made it impossible to ignore, and since she obtained informed consent, this is justification. d. authoritative writing asks us to consider what right we have to report, thus a moral challenge is justification.
