It may shock you to know that there really have been so-called 'death panels' employed to triage organ transplant cases. One patient who went through what must have been a draining experience wrote about it on another blogspot blog called Southeast to Southwest (at swse.blogspot.com).
Death panels, aka God committees, have to evaluate the patient's chances for a good outcome for the terribly expensive organ transplant surgery. It is a fact of life that there are not enough organs to go around, and we really ought to push for more of us to volunteer usable organs upon our passing so that another can live.
The whole fascinating, engrossing account can be read here at: http://sesw.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-went-before-real-death-panel.html
