Abstract:
Fu biao who got an advanced liver cancer had undergone liver-transplantation twice and died at last,which raises great ethical concern.With respect to distribution,there are four substantial distributive principles,including the principle of equality,the principle of need,the principle of contribution,the principle of effort.When allocating scarce health-care resouses,medical criteirion should be considered firstly the equality of everyone's life.Furthermore,the principle of utility and equality should be embodied for ensuring distributive justice.
