(e.g., Medicare not paying for certain
treatments for very elderly patients). In your
discussion, you must, from the perspective of
distributive justice, summarize the major
arguments on both sides (the pros and cons)
of the issue of whether health care should be
rationed to the elderly. You must also
characterize these arguments according to
whether they are primarily libertarian,
utilitarian, or egalitarian in nature. Finally,
you will evaluate these arguments from your
view of distributive justice, explaining both
how your personal life experiences and your
own libertarian, utilitarian, or egalitarian
views influence your evaluation.
