What is your opinion on the idea of “withhold[ing] medical care” (Kerstetter 423) from a critically wounded or ill patient? Is it only permissible in combat, or should it be possible in other medical situations? Should it never be allowed? Consider these and other questions as you write your essay.
In your essay, please take a position FOR or AGAINST refusing to treat medical patients whose “survival would be unlikely” (Kerstetter 422).
Your answer will be your thesis statement. Support your thesis with reasons and examples taken from
Jon Kerstetter’s “Triage”
Your observations taken from prior knowledge
