| Abstract | "Should organ transplants be given to patients who have waited the longest, or need it most urgently, or those whose survival prospects are the best? The rationing of health care is universal and inevitable, taking place in poor and affluent countries, in publicly funded and private health care systems. Someone must budget for as well as dispense health care whilst aging populations severely stretch the availability of resources. The Ethics of Health Care Rationing is a clear and much-needed introduction to this increasingly important topic. Substantially revised and updated, this second edition includes new chapters on disability discrimination and age discrimination respectively, and a new chapter the price of drugs and medical therapies. |
