The Ethics of Pandemics
Paperback Edition: 1
A portion of the revenue from this book's sales will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to assist in the fight against COVID-19.
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on modern health-care systems and has given rise to a number of complex ethical issues. This collection of readings and case studies offers an overview of some of the most pressing of these issues, such as the allocation of ventilators and other scarce resources, the curtailing of standard privacy measures for the sake of public health, and the potential obligations of health-care professionals to continue operating in dangerous work environments.
