Doctors List Who Should Die in a Pandemic

May 6 2008 - 10:00am

If a global and deadly pandemic hits, doctors will have to chose who to save, and thus, who to let die [1]. Prominent doctors have now put out a definitive list of who is in and who is out.

They made the list at the behest of prominent universities and military and US governmental agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services. The list specifically articulates who should not get medical attention in a widespread emergency.

Do you make the cut? Are you happy to see governmental agencies and physicians getting organized, since preparation could save more lives? Even so, does this godlike list — of who should live and who should die — make you uncomfortable? Does it amount to unfair discrimination?
