Ethical dilemma.

Two heart surgeries.

- You are director of a hospital and chairman of the meeting.
Situation is the following:
Only two people can have heart surgery while there are more patients
on the ward for whom it is necessary to have surgery.
Briefly explain the situation and ensure that a
responsible decision is reached.
Patients who are not going to have the operation will have to be informed about this
[arguments must be given].

These are the people who need to be operated on:

- The professor (68 years old), he means a lot to medicine.

- The drug-addicted single mother (23 years), she has a daughter (2 years)

- The burglar (59 years), married with children aged 16 and 19.
