Comment on Professor David Hunter’s Talk
Chapter
Abstract
Professor Hunter has presented his expert endeavour of “reviewing the debate and reality in Britain” (p 35) with regard to medical rationing. Hence, we have been provided with three different levels of data or theses to think about:
- 1.
the level of de facto decision-making upon the provision and non-provision of potentially benefitting care to patients;
- 2.
the level of British reflection thereupon — be it by politicians, by the public, or by academic experts of various backgrounds;
- 3.
the level of Professor Hunter’s own theoretical inferences not the least from those very realities and debates.
