I'm glad and don't see better solution than to use an algorithm to decide this over personnal choice. I understand the choice of using software. What I don't understand is why this software is not open source, heavily documented and the algorithm annually monitored, publicly reported and updated if necessessary by an open committee.
I personally prefer avoid being involved as much as possible in human life and death inducing procedure because that awfully stressful, but I don't see big problem on working on the software coding itself. What is problematic in this case is that the software was used to deinvolve everyone from the process and for what I understand the software developpement team was apparently tasked to make up the decision algorihtm and no human basic oversight was keeped during the attribution process.
