Internal Ministry of Health documents call ‘priority access’ to hospital care for FIFA players and VIPs a ‘requirement’ of the tournament — a concept one bioethicist says is 'very disturbing and ethically problematic'
It shouldn’t make a difference, and I think this would set a terrible precedent, but I have much less of an issue with special treatment for players than for “VIPs”. The only way I’d truly be ok with this is if FIFA paid to have increased capacity and/or some kind of lasting improvement to the hospital. But we all know with FIFA’s track record their more likely to demand the hospital pay them for the privilege to and publicity from treating their executives.
