A harm-threshold model for ethical organ allocation
HTU operationalizes a tunable, ethically explicit trade-off between benefit and protection of the worst-off. By encoding precaution (confidence threshold) and a non-negotiable floor against catastrophic harm, HTU offers measurable efficiency gains without sacrificing fairness, and reframes policy choices as transparent parameters open to review.
