PREVENTIVE MEDICINE POLICIES,

Abstract

In this paper several different criteria are investigated. However, the basic problem of evaluating human life is circumvented by treating only a trivial health problem, namely, the scheduling of dental examinations. This dental problem is trivial in the sense that longevity is not usually significantly affected by the scheduling policy. The extension of the simple dental policy to cancer detection is outlined, but longevity implications are not explored. (Author)
