"Allocation of resources"
Hmm could this mean"It cost to much for granny to survive, We're only going to pay for her niece because it will result in more revenue for us if she lives and an older person dies?
Should these decisions be in the hands of those who gave you Waco & Ruby Ridge?
You mean the FBI agents are going to be making calls on allocation of scarce amounts of organs for transplant?
Why not debate what the article has presented?
If you have only 100 hearts for transplant this year, and there are 2000 people on the transplant list needing one, how would you allocate it? Seniority?
From the essay;
"Ultimately, no principle is sufficient on its own to recognise all morally relevant considerations. Combining principles into systems increases complexity and contro- versy, but is inevitable if allocations are to incorporate the complexity of our moral values (table 2). People disagree about which principles to include and how to balance them. Many allocation systems do not make their content explicit, nor do they justify their choices about inclusion, balancing, and specification.1 Elucidating, comparing, and evaluating allocation systems should be a research priority.9"
That is essentially what the essay is discussing. Did you read it?
It is a very well written essay. It is very thought provoking.
By the way, insurance companies have been dealing with this issue for a long time, yet you trust them to use monetary factors as the sole guiding principle.
