Gerald R. Winslow's book, Triage and Justice, is reviewed, beginning with a brief discussion of the triage theory of medical care in the context of war, natural disasters, and the allocation of scarce or costly technologies. Brent then touches upon Winslow's discussion of principles, ranging from utilitarianism to egalitarianism, by which to select patients for treatment. The review concludes by suggesting that British governmental decision makers, as well as ethicists and health personnel, would benefit from reading Triage and Justice.
