Thoughts on "Healthy Hannah" Case

Healthy Hannah is a case that I read in my Accounting Ethics class.

The story goes like this:

Hannah is a healthy 23 year-old woman who visits a hospital emergency room with
severe head injury. The doctors determine that they can treat Hannah and she will
fully recover in a few months. the cost of treating her will be about $250,000.
However, for a smaller cost of about $100,000 the doctors would let Hannah die
in the hospital and then harvest her vital organs to benefit many other people.
While the loss of Hannah would be tragic, many other lives could be saved with the
organ donations.

In this case, she has a high chance of recovering, except that the medical bill would be high. However, the true ethics should not be on a scale of how much it would cost. If we look at it from the principle of Kantian principle of "Practical Superlative", people should be treated as "an end-in-itself and never as a means". Even though Hannah's death can benefit more people, it is morally wrong to disrespect her rights of living.

As a reminder to myself, I should not look at things merely from the Principle of Utility--choosing an action that creates the greatest happiness or utility. Even if the chance of Hannah's survival is slim, the doctors should still give her treatment. However, in reality, doctors do have to consider who will pick up the medical bills. It is morally unethical, but that is how hospitals run their businesses.
