Bias adjustment and the nature of health-state utility.

"Paul Menzel taught philosophy and bioethics at the Pacific Lutheran University from 1971 to 2012. Much of his scholarly work has focused on moral questions in health economics, including ‘Strong Medicine: The Ethical Rationing of Health Care’ and numerous articles, often with collaborating authors, on quality-adjusted life years. He has also written on distributive justice in the economics of insurance markets, on the relative priority of preventive care in ‘Prevention vs. Treatment: What’s the Right Balance?’ and most recently on a variety of end-of-life issues. Visiting scholar appointments have included the Kennedy Institute of Ethics (Georgetown), the University of York (England), the Rockefeller Study Center at Bellagio, the Brocher Foundation (Geneva), and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He currently resides in Oakland, California."
