The general ethical standard with the distribution of scarcemedical resources avoids allocating them on the basis of some typeof subjective "value" of the person receiving the benefit. Being anupstanding member of society, donating large sums to a hospital (orbeing a significant philanthropist, religious saintliness, andother such qualities are not considered "value added" when it comesto everything from ventilators to organ transplants. A history ofalcoholism wouldn't be considered reason to deny a livertransplant, nor would even being on death row be, in itself, reasonto deny an organ transplant.
And yet exceptions are made. It is normal for an ill orwounded President to receive heroic interventions (As President ofthe United States, Donald Trump received monoclonal antibodiesbefore they were available to the public). Celebrities and wealthypeople do manage to "cut in line" to get healthcare treatment. And,in the circumstances of pandemics or disasters, front-line worksand vital healthcare workers get preferential treatment so thatthey can deliver care for others (and this included access toPPA).
1) Using the COVID example, how would you have allocatedventilators when the number of people needing them significantlyexceeded the supply?
