From the new Zealand herald:
Some surgeons, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the new scoring tool was medically indefensible. They said patients should be prioritised on how sick they were, how urgently they needed treatment, and how long they had been waiting for it - not on their ethnicity.
Exactly. Patients should be prioritised on their condition, but treated considering etnic differences in human bodies. Etnicity should definitely be considered, but for treatment, not for prioritizing them.
