Justice for children in healthcare: an asymmetric theory of responsibility/Justicia para los niños en el sistema sanitario: una teoría asimétrica de la responsabilidad
Healthcare providers face enormous pressure to save healthcare resources where possible. In this paper I explore the response that we should allocate resources fairly. What is a fair allocation of healthcare resources for children? First, I consider the luck egalitarianism approach of limiting resources to adult patients who are responsible for their conditions. A luck egalitarian distribution of healthcare resources to adults faces significant problems in application. I maintain that when we consider these problems with a focus on the just distribution of health-care resources to children, we gain valuable insights into the fairness of healthcare allocation for adults
