ABSTRACr: Healthcare rationing is here to stay. No one likes it and we would prefer to give everyone all the care they need and deserve. We know that there simply are not enough resources to do this, however. So resourceswill be rationed. In some cases, rationed resources will go to the young, not the aged. When this happens, there is a very good chance (indeed Miller claims it is fact) that there will not only be age bias, but sex bias in the rationing. Miller confronts us with the issue, and challenges us with the defense of such practices, and offers an alternative framework for dealing with the problem.
