  • Title: The good Samaritan and scarce medical resources.
    Author: Verhey AD.
    Journal: Christ Sch Rev; 1994 Mar; 23(3):360-73. PubMed ID: 14628781.
    Abstract:
    The story of the good Samaritan is familiar to Christians as a model of caring compassion. Yet the story seems merely quaint and out of place in the context of modern health care, especially when we consider the problem of scarcity and the allocation of limited resources. Allen D. Verhey suggests specific ways in which the story of the good Samaritan can and must continue to shape Christian response when we consider the issue of limited access to health care, limited economic resources, and limited medical commodities.
