Having as a starting point the fact that participants gave priority to people in greater need for health care treatment can only lead to the assumption that the ground of this particular choice is based on the principle of necessity. These preferences are rather justified and expected since they raise issues that relate to the ultimate value, that of life itself. In life or death situations, the public is not expected to make choices in favor of the sustainability of the health care system or in favor of value maximization, but are rather expected to make choices that can be explained in terms of the principle of necessity. The principle of necessity actually entails that health care services should be offered to the public according to the actual “need” [28, 29, 39]. This approach defines “need” as the severity of the disease  and supports that what should also be taken into consideration is the “urgency of the situation”. Therefore, those who are suffering from severe diseases should be priority ranked for health care treatments. This principle seems to be highly supported in Scandinavian countries. The severity of the situation, in the sense that the person who is in greater need should receive health care treatment first, is actually the first priority criterion in the Swedish and Norwegian laws [7, 41–45].
