Re:IBM's Watson will be used to make decisions about cancer ... by xamuel on Wednesday May 06, 2015 @03:59PM (#9501422)
That sort of reasoning sounds very good if you're good-looking, charming, live in an affluent area, go to the same church as the doctor, etc. There's a very thin line between compassion and corruption, and neither should have any place in the formal decision-making of medicine. If everyone should be given the treatment, then make a rule saying everyone gets the treatment. Don't leave it up to doctors' compassion.
