Preconceito de Idade, Triagem, Alocação, RecursosResumo
Em junho de 2020, Ruth Macklin publicou um ensaio crítico contra uma diretriz do Conselho Geral de Saúde (Consejo de Salubridad General) do México que recomendava o uso da idade como critério de desempate para alocar recursos terapêuticos escassos. A diretriz baseou esta recomendação no princípio de vidas completas. Neste artigo eu reconstruo e rejeito os três argumentos apresentados por Macklin contra o princípio de vidas completas. Subseqüentemente, formulei três objeções de minha autoria ao princípio de vidas completas.
