Should coronavirus patients that need life saving equipment get priority based solely on their age?

The above question was asked to the It-Your-Vote community.

We provided additional information for the question which was:

"Some countries are approaching the limit of their capacity to provide everyone with enough life saving ventilator machines. Therefore, there might soon be a point where decisions have to be taken on who gets first priority. It has been suggested that age is the best method, with younger patients getting priority over older ones. Do you think that age is the only sensible method of making this critical decision. Alternatively, should other factors like medical history be included in making this decision. For example, people in their 80's might have many years in-front of them and therefore age is not a good sole method.".

The available answers for this questions were:

1. Yes-age should be used as the sole method to decide

2. No-medical history and age should be used to decide
