New ethics guidelines issued by the British Medical Association (BMA) suggest that doctors may not use respirators for older people who have a low chance of survival.
The decision comes after the number of people infected increased critically in the UK.
Doctors have to make tough decisions; they have to decide who will live and who will not.
The BMA ethics guidelines state that the act is truly discriminatory, but in the event of an epidemic, physicians have to focus on patients who have a chance of survival.
