ABSTRAKT

When demand for life-saving resources outstrips supply during a pandemic, age discrimination must be eschewed in favor of a lottery. Arguments for favoring the young include widespread approval of age discrimination, life-stage considerations, utilitarianism, and Rawlsian considerations. All of these arguments are flawed. Moreover, it is crucial to present alternatives to patients in a way that avoids bias and pressure.

SCHLÜSSELWÖRTER: bias, death, discrimination, lottery, priority
