The Role of Philosophy in Decision-Making Health Care Allocation

There is room for principles but nothing is going to be determined fully by principles. What we're doing really is appealing to a whole range of values and seeing how weighty they appeal to us. And quite often, all you can do is hope other people share the same view about how weighty the different values are. It's a form of case-by-case analysis. But I think it has something in common with legal reasoning. A lot of reasoning in life is much more like the legal model than the principle model. In this area what we need are people with philosophical skills, not philosophical theories. Do you want us to wolf? My pleasure.
