COVID-19 and the Ethics of Scarce Resource Planning

Description

When life-saving resources are scarce, how do we decide who to save? As part of the "SNF Agora Conversations: The Politics and Policy of COVID-19" series, join us for a conversation about the ethics of scarce resource allocation, how the public helps to develop priorities, and how we create ethically acceptable approaches for deciding, quite literally, who will live and who will die. Watch the conversation at coronavirus.jhu.edu/live.
