My question is: should we even seek a universal answer to that dillema?
The answer is No. We should let the doctors decide, and they already do it, as a group, country-wide. They have set policies, and they teach and explain the rules to new doctors.
In resistive impedance it’s a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.
No that’s inductance not resistance. And for the flywheel analogy it’s inertance (inertia) as it’s kinetic energy.
Think of resistance as the portion of impedance that does not have a dependence on frequency, and dissipate energy in the form of heat. Capacitance and inductance together form the portion of impedance that is dependent on frequency. Further, capacitance is storage of potential energy and inductance is of kinetic energy. The charge is in motion in an inductor which created the magnetic field.
Capacitance also acts as a high pass filter (meaning it doesn’t react to / filters out high frequency inputs) and inductance as a low pass filter. There’s analogies to all this in mechanical and fluids as well. Capacitance’s high pass filtering can be thought of like a spring, and inductance like a mass or flywheel or volume of fluid in a pipe.
Floating implies not grounded, but not necessarily open circuit. Being open circuit could be thought of as having very high impedance (specifically resistance). A high enough voltage (force) would be required to cause a flow (current, arc) to close it. Floating implies it is closed circuit but not to a ground which is like a sink where the energy can dump into if no where else to go.
For chips (ICs) they often have high internal impedance so they don’t draw a lot of power through them but can still operate on the signal as intended.
I believe it’s called medical triage, and it’s a real problem. Usually, in first world countries it’s more between top notch care (Immunotherapy, Hadrontherapy), regular care, and pain management.
For cancer, it would be taken by specialised hospital on a multi disciplinary team based on what they can do, and the expected life quality/expectancy afterwards (a 75 year old having to wear a diaper sucks, but the same at 30 is worse)
Note also that the way, they do it in the US based on who can pay what is even worse. Your life isn’t more important if you can put your winter apartment in Aspen for rent this winter to pay for your treatment.
Triage is also a classic one in Emergency. If you watch the Netflix documentary about Paris 2015 shootings, they interviewed one of the doctor who was doing field triage. One of these ninja are cutting onion moments
