Resource Allocation and Fairness

Resource allocation and fairness in bioethics law refers to how medical resources, like organs, treatments, or vaccines, are distributed among individuals and populations. It emphasizes the need for equitable access, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to receive care based on medical need, not on factors like wealth or social status. This concept also considers ethical principles, such as justice and equality, striving to make decisions that are transparent and justifiable, especially in times of scarcity, ensuring vulnerable groups are not neglected. Overall, it aims to balance efficiency with moral responsibility in healthcare.
