| Title |
Age rationing and the just distribution of health care: is there a duty to die? |
| Date |
1987 |
| Description |
These lines express a view again stirring controversy: that the elderly who are irreversibly ill, whose lives can be continued only with substantial medical support, ought not to be given treatment; instead, their lives should be brought to an end. It should be recognized, as one contemporary political figure is said to have put it, that they "have a duty to die."2 |
