A lottery for drugs Only limited supplies of some
Chapter 5, Problem 5.24(choose chapter or problem)
A lottery for drugs? Only limited supplies of some experimental drugs are available because the drugs are very diffi cult to make. Sometimes it is necessary to use a lottery to decide at random which patients can receive a drug that is in short supply. Several years ago, for example, Hoff manLa Roche had enough doses of the drug Invirase for 2880 AIDS patients. Shortly aft er announcing this, the company received 10,000 calls from patients who wanted to enter the lottery. Discuss this practice. Do you favor random selection? If not, how should recipients be chosen?
