Actually, the conversation usually goes something like this:
Patient/family: do you have a kidney yet?
Doctor: no, not yet
(no mention of the family dealing with a difficult, personal decision about their loved one)
The larger question being presented is who gets to decide whether to pull the plug? Do you want such a decision about your spouse or child to be in the hands of another?
What if it had? Do you think that makes it acceptable for the AI to decide to pull the plug (as per the OP’s scenario)?
Moving. Conceptually, I like the idea of a new setting and all that comes with it, but the actual process of packing, purging, loading up a vehicle, unloading said vehicle, unpacking, etc., etc. — that doesn’t even account for the search for a new place, ending/starting utilities, address updates for all our services and subs, workplace, family and friends. It’s all so exhausting, physically and mentally.
But my significant other and I likely have at least one more move at this point in our lives, so this remains just a dream for now. When we completed our last move, we agreed that if we could pull it off, we would just hire movers next time.
So does AI. So do algorithms.
It sounds like you’re OK with the decision being in something else’s hands. which again brings us back to the point of the OP.
