LEGAL AND MORAL RIGHTS DISTINCTION:
Health care questioned at conference
(Continued from Page 1)
BASSON SAID the conference also
served to show that communication
between doctors and philosophers can
occur on similar topics. He said con-
ference participants in previous year
subsequently have collaborated on
papers.
Consideration of moral, as opposed to
legal rights in making ethical health
care decisions was also examined at the
conference.
Philosophy Prof. Stephen Stich of the
University of Maryland said legal
rights are more clear than moral
rights, whose boundaries are "obscure
and open to argument."
Prior to the 17th Century, Stich said,
people did not talk in terms of moral
rights. "The relationship between legal
and moral rights need not run
together," he said.
STICH POINTFD to the Dred Scott
Supreme Court decision regarding a
runaway slave who went to a free state
as one example of the separation of
legal and moral rights.
"The slave had a. moral right to stay
out of bondage, but no legal right,"
Stich said. "The owner had a legal right
to get the slave, but what about the
moral right?"
He divided health care rights into two
categories : action rights, involving the.
individual's right to do what he or she
wishes; and recipient rights, those in-
volving an individual's right to get what
he or she wants.
But, Stich said, the right to health
care is complicated by an individual's
i
right to be healthy, by drinking clean
water and breathing pure air,and a
person's right to health care by
choosing the doctor of his or her choice.
A RIGHT To health, Stich said, also
is placed under constraints by the legal
system. He cited the government ban
on laetrile and the use of marijuana for
glaucoma treatment as examples of
choices placed under limits.
Health care problems in the United
States today result from overall in-
flation, government regulations, in-
creased demand for services, malprac-
tice insurance, new technology, and the
increasing proportion of elderly, accor-
ding to Pursell, who also.spoke at the
conference.
But Medicare, Medicaid and
veterans' programs are examples of
how the public has accepted respon-
sibility for health care, Pursell said.
In 1971, he said, $77 billion was spent
on health care, some six per cent of the
gross national product (GNP). In 1979,
more than $200 billion, approximately
nine per cent of the GNP, was spent on /
health care.
Soviets blast U.S. 'error'
in false missile attack alert
MOSCOW (AP) - An apparent com-
puter foul-up that caused a false missile
alert in the United States prompted the
Soviet Union yesterday to warn that
another such error could have
"irreparable consequences."
The Soviet news agency. TAss claimed
the Pentagon was having trouble
reassuring people about the episode,
which resulted in 10 U.S. and Canadian
jet interceptors taking off from their
bases.
"NO MATTER how hard the Pen-
tagon spokesman tried to assure
newsmen, they were not soothed by his
statements," Tass reported from
Washington. In reporting the incident,,
the press said that such an 'error' may,
lead to fatal consequences.
"Another 'error' by the computer
might have irreparable- consequences
for the whole world," Tass said.
At the White House, press secretary
Jody Powell was asked about the ad-
verse reaction.
"GIVEN THE FACT that our people
are sitting over there," he said,
referring to 60 Americans held hostage
by students at the U.S. Embassyin
Iran, "anybody who is angry with us is
not going to get a long hearing."
The North American Air Defense
Command in Colorado was using a test
tape Friday when the apparent com-
puter malfunction caused a warning of
the simulated Soviet missile attack to
be transmitted to other commands and
federal agencies, the Pentagon said.
The foul-up was corrected within six
minutes and the false alert, never
reached the president, but in that brief
time the jets assigned to fight attacking
bombers were sent aloft.
FROM THE statement the Pentagon
released, it appeared the NORAD
commanders always were aware it was
only a test. However, Tass reported,
"Only after six minutes had passed, did
the NORAD commanders become
aware that a mistake had occurred and
that there was no attack."
Defense officials said the false alarm
did not appear to have resulted from
any human error. A Pentagon
spokesman told a reporter there have
been other false alarms that have not
been announced, but that Friday's in-
cident was publicized to make clear it
had nothing to do with the crisis in Iran.
The Soviet news media have reported
previously that U.S. servicemen with
access to sophisticated weapons were
found to be drunk or using drugs. The
Tass report on the missile incident
basically followed the version of events
issued in Washington, with no in-
dication of whether the alert was spot-
ted by the Soviet military.
