Some philosophers support the fair innings view, which prioritizes younger individuals, while others maintain that excluding older people based on age would be discriminatory. I delve into the question of whether the fair innings view can be justified under several leading theories: the headcount view, the &#8220;save the most life-years&#8221; principle, and the lifetime view. I clarify that the fair innings view based on the headcount view or the \u201csave the most life-years\u201d principle cannot always justify the prioritization of younger individuals. The prudential life-span account supports prioritizing younger individuals by assuming that everyone ages. However, I argue that during the pandemic, we should not always favor the benefits of being young, if we cannot expect that all people will age. I highlight the significance of considering the notion of &#8220;separability of time&#8221; in the context of a pandemic. However, I ultimately conclude that the fair innings view, grounded in the lifetime view, can be deemed acceptable if a significant majority of individuals survive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Key words<\/h4>\n<p>Allocation of Health Resources, Fair Innings, Prudential Life-Span View, Equality of Time, Ethics of Pandemics<\/p>\n<div id=\"extensionsWeblioEjBx\" style=\"position: absolute; z-index: 2147483647; left: 88px; top: 55px;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sachiko Yasuda<br \/>\nVolume 6 Issue 1 Pages 29-44<br \/>\nFirst Published: October 20, 2023<br \/>\n[in Japanese]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[61],"class_list":["post-842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-regular-article","tag-volume-6-issue-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=842"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":848,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842\/revisions\/848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cbel.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
