Age as a basis for healthcare rationing. Support for agist policies.

Abstract

It is inevitable that publicly funded, technically sophisticated medical treatments will be increasingly rationed. Other things being equal, there is a greater duty to use them to prolong the lives of younger than older people. Age is therefore an ethical rationing criterion. Denial of this may actually harm older people.
