Here is the comic strip based on an ethical dilemma. It presents a scenario where a doctor is faced with a difficult choice regarding which patient should receive a life-saving heart transplant. The comic delves into the complexities of medical ethics, particularly the allocation of scarce resources, which is a fundamental issue in healthcare. The ethical dilemma here revolves around two patients who are equally in need of a heart transplant, but there is only one heart available. The doctor must consider various factors, such as the potential for the patients' future contributions to society, their personal circumstances, and the likelihood of transplant success. This situation is a classic example of the ethical principle of distributive justice, which seeks to ensure that resources are distributed in a way that is fair, equitable, and appropriate. In the medical context, this principle often conflicts with others, such as the principle of "first come, first served" or the utilitarian approach of maximizing overall happiness or well-being. The comic intentionally leaves the outcome unresolved to prompt reflection and discussion about how such decisions are made and the moral reasoning behind them.

An elderly gentleman with a fair complexion, short white hair, and glasses is sitting at a table. He is wearing a horizontally striped polo shirt in light and dark shades. The man has a serious expression on his face and is showing us a piece of paper with his left hand, which seems to have a pencil-drawn line chart on it. In his right hand, he's holding a standard yellow pencil. The background is an indoor setting, possibly a kitchen, with white cupboards and a glimpse of a refrigerator. The focus of the image is on the man and what he is presenting. The photo was posted in 2018 on Reddit. --ar 9:16 --style raw --stylize 50
