  • Covid 19, Disability, and the Ethics of Distributing Scarce Resources Gould, James B. 2020 Philosophy in the Contemporary World , Vol. 26 , Issue 1 , S. 38 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 1077-1999 | 2153-3377 10.5840/pcw2020261/22 Abstract

    The Covid-19 pandemic provides a real-world context for evaluating the fairness of disability-based rationing of scarce medical resources. I discuss three situations clinicians may face: rationing based on disability itself; rationing based on inevitable disability-related comorbidities; and rationing based on preventable disability-related comorbidities. I defend three conclusions. First, in a just distribution, extraneous factors do not influence a person’s share. This rules out rationing based on disability alone, where no comorbidities decrease a person’s capacity to benefit from treatment. Second, in a just distribution, undeserved luck does not influence a person’s share. This rules out rationing for biologically caused comorbidities that decrease capacity to benefit. Third, in a just distribution, social injustice does not influence a person’s share. This rules out rationing for socially caused comorbidities that decrease capacity to benefit.
