 Is the ethical character of health care rationing fundamentally altered if we posit a human right to health care for persons with disabilities, as has been recently done by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN 2007: Articles 25 and 26)? Does human rights discourse strengthen the argument that health resource rationing cannot disadvantage persons with disabilities? Does it put more pressure on the need to ethically justify the application of cost effectiveness to allocation decision making? Does it help us resolve the dilemma that disability poses for health care allocation?
