This committee, formally known as the Admissions and Policy Committee of the Seattle Artificial Kidney Center, decided who got dialysis (and lived) and who did not get dialysis (and died). As I have argued in several articles and in recent presentations, this is one of the ancestors of today's hospital ethics committees.
