Abstract

This article discusses some implications of triage practices for disaster ethics. The technical centrality of the quantiication in the algorithmic and numerical triage models is considered and the normative prevalence of consequentialist criteria is emphasized, even when the latter have to be adjusted to multi- principle systems. Finally, it is suggested that an ethical conception of disasters requires a complex and comprehensive perspective of disaster management, which is not limited to the immediate response to them and exceeds and integrates the principles of bioethics and the indispensable consequentialist criteria in triage decisions.
