That makes my blood boil
Moral philosopher and acting dean of the School of Philosophy and Theology at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle Philip Matthews has been watching Italy's coronavirus crisis closely.
He said it was right and ethical for doctors to restrict access to critical equipment like respirators to the young and healthy.
So a 61 year old providing back into the community the wealth of experience they have gained over their lifetime gets shunted to the side for a 20-year unemployed-newstart-allowancee with no prospects who is 'young'.
Thankfully we should never have to consider the ethical issues proposed by the acting dean... the 'young' don't seem to have the serious side-effects. It's the elderly with underlying conditions that will need the ventilators. Let's hope we have enough.
