The designers claim their model will get it right about
75 percent of the time. Knowingly designing a model with a 25 percent error
rate, when it determines who has greatest access to the best kidneys, is not
morally justifiable.
Second, it is unjust because it singles out diabetes as
the only health condition that reduces an individual's chance of being ranked
in the top 20 percent of candidates.
