Primes¶
- Sequencing
- Medicine & surgery: Operative sequencing (order of surgical steps respecting anatomical access and blood flow), medical sequencing (diagnostic tests ordered to rule out high-impact conditions efficiently), vaccination sequencing (which populations first, balancing disease burden and logistics), as Emanuel et al. (2020) frame in their NEJM analysis of how priority orderings of scarce medical resources reflect explicit ethical and operational sequencing choices.
This sourceArticulates four ethical values (maximize benefits, treat people equally, promote and reward instrumental value, give priority to the worst off) and six recommendations for commensuring competing patient claims in pandemic triage; canonical reference for the embedded value choices in medical-resource allocation protocols.

- Value Commensuration
- The controversy revealed that stakeholders had fundamentally different views about what commensuration framework was legitimate, and no amount of technical refinement could resolve the underlying value disagreement.
