AB  - Tännsjö here approaches the question of how to allocate limited health-care resources from a philosophical perspective. He balanaces theoretical treatments of distributive ethics with real-world examples of how health-care is administered around the world today, arguing for the controversial position that we ought to direct more resources to the care and cure of people suffering from mental illness, and less to the marginal life extension of elderly patients.
