But we shouldn’t sacrifice one person in this way to save four, should we?
Brendan  Lalor
Pay attention to the logic here. The reasoning is something like this: 1. Utlitarianism implies organ conscription would be ethical. 2. (We know) it's NOT the case that organ conscription would be ethical. 3. Therefore, utilitarianism is incorrect. Does this argument refute utilitarianism? Perhaps not, as utilitarians can respond defensively. But it at least counts as pressure against it.
