我们提出了第一个系统的全国民意调查，以年龄为基础的卫生保健资源配给。为了更精确地比较年龄群体和其他人口统计变量对老年人的态度，我们对老年人进行了抽样调查。我们发现，大多数人都能接受不给无望的病人提供延长生命的医疗服务，但很少有人会因为年龄而断然拒绝提供这种服务。所有年龄段的大多数人都认为，无论年龄大小，每个病人都有责任拒绝可能无效的医疗护理。
We present the first systematic national survey of public opinion on age-based rationing of health care resources. Older people were oversampled in order to allow more precise comparisons of attitude by age cohort as well as by other demographic variables. We found that the majority of people accept the withholding of life-prolonging medical care to hopelessly ill patients, but few would categorically withhold such care on the basis of age. The majority of all ages felt that it was the duty of individual patients regardless of age to refuse medical care that is likely to be futile.
