abstract="In this issue, Kukora and Laventhal(1) propose prohibiting adults who refuse the influenza vaccine from receiving Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for overwhelming influenza during a pandemic when ECMO becomes a scare resource. They argue if one autonomously decides to forego vaccination, then a just consequence is not receiving ECMO if one becomes critically ill. The authors equate this to requiring alcoholics to be sober prior to a liver transplant. Unfortunately, the situation is more similar to the drunk driver after an accident that requires life-saving therapies. We provide critical therapies in an attempt to save the life regardless of why they are dying. This article is protected by copyright.
