Are you a visitor or a maintainer at HN?

Triage or comparative loss is frequently applied in medical circles.

Extending the concept of triage across generations is villified?

Every triage involves loss and denying medical care, not talking about it doesn't make it cleaner.

To improve triage outcomes, people must be able to discuss and argue triage decisions, that necessarily involves arguing effectively against certain care.

If this platform must serve as a safe space for the feeble minded, I could consider exiting it, if the maintainers insist triage becomes a taboo subject.
