Abstract
"Modern health care is a complex system comprising different parts and dimensions each of which is determined by its own criteriology and governed by its own ethical norms. If in response to scarcity of resources a decision to limit access to health care has to be made, such a decision can only be judged as being ethically acceptable if all the ethical norms which are relevant for the various dimensions are brought into an adequate balance. When limiting access to health care this structural problem of combining and balancing different ethical criteriologies and codes seems to be one of the most difficult tasks. But what are the main criteriologies and codes which play a role in this area and what type of interdependence would result in an adequate balance? In this paper we want to discuss some relevant questions concerning problems inherent to these criteriologies on the basis of specific health care problems in order to determine at least provisionally whether these distinctions and interrelations can be considered as a helpful means for solving the problems" ["La asistencia médica moderna es un sistema complejo que abarca diversas piezas y dimensiones que son determinadas por sus propias criteriologías y gobernadas por sus propias normas éticas.
