  abstract     = {{Hospital specialists who took care of the COVID-19 patients, confess in the newspaper their fear for a possible shortage of beds that led them to exclude patients from curing therapy. The nursing staff also suffered from these painful choices. I argue that fear for a non-existing shortage is not acceptable as a decision basis. Saving the life of every patient is obligatory in medical deontology as well as under criminial law (except if the victim made a different will).
In addition, each patient was selected on statistical basis, i.e. his/her risk factors. This equalizes the prognosis of an individual to the statistical mean of a population; this is scientifically incorrect, and morally and legally unacceptable.}},
