RIOS-URIARTE, María Elizabeth de los  e  REVELLO, Rubén Oscar. CHANCE VS. WEIGHTING CRITERIA IN ALLOCATING SCARCE HEALTH RESOURCES TO HEALTH EMERGENCIES. pers.bioét. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, e2512.  Epub 27-Abr-2021. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2021.25.1.2.

When events such as a pandemic occur, and the entire population’s health must be ensured, the focus is on public health. Despite several criteria for decision-making, it is advisable to delve into the weighting beyond the mere consideration of plainly visible factors. We propose weighting as a mechanism instead of chance since, given the person’s substantial unity and intrinsic dignity, their destiny cannot be subject to anything less than the exercise of intelligible judgment inherent to human reason.
