ABSTRACT
Medical decision making is basically related to three criteria 1) estimated effectiveness in terms of objective and subjective results:
2) equity related to the concept of justice in the societal context; 3) legitimacy according to the willingness to pay of the society, its resource availability and the fraction of its income that is allowed to be spent for health care. A worsening dilemma is unescapable between a utilitarian medical project, and the traditional hippocratic rule of rescue no matter what the cost may be. Every care taker should be involved to give a clear account of medical decision in order to generate and adopt some acceptable view for a reliable implementation with respect to equity and justice.
