Participants were asked to make a series of 15 decisions and later asked to disclose certain personal information. In each decision, two different patients who both required a ventilator to live were described. Only one ventilator is available, and they were asked to make the decision based on the 10 attributes. Each scenario was randomly generated, although impossible combinations (a 5 year old child with a criminal record) were eliminated.
