If a pandemic hits:

I guess they have to plan for these things, even though it's gonna cause a lot of anguish for the folks who have loved ones in the "let die" categories:

People older than 85.

Those with severe trauma, which could include critical injuries from car crashes and shootings.

Severely burned patients older than 60.

Those with severe mental impairment, which could include advanced Alzheimer's disease.

Those with a severe chronic disease, such as advanced heart failure, lung disease or poorly controlled diabetes.

What do you think? Should these decisions be made in advance? If so, should they be advertising it?
