Allocating Scarce Resources

vDiscuss your thoughts and ideas and hand in. Please keep your comments to less than 1000 words. Use any of the theories, principles, or rules we've covered in this course to support your decision Consider the 2009 H1N1 scare. What if it really did reach deadly pandemic proportions? What if survival was closer to 50%? Who goes to the ICU, and who doesn't? Should scarce resources go to the people most likely to survive? Should triage occur on a first-come, first-served basis? If both have equal chances of survival, should the last available ventilator go to the 20-year-old over the 60-year-old who has had 40 more years of life? How about a 1-month-old versus a 9-year-old if they both have equal chances of surviving? A neurosurgeon versus a plumber?
