    • 2.Disabled persons may receive priority in some contexts (palliative care, rehabilitation) that QALY metrics alone don't capture.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Conflating a single criticized metric with entire institutional practice commits the fallacy of synecdoche.
