解説
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has brought a broad range of ethical problems to the forefront, raising fundamental questions about the role of government in response to such outbreaks, the scarcity and allocation of health care resources, the unequal distribution of health risks and economic impacts, and the extent to which individual freedom can be restricted.
In this clear introduction to the topic Iwao Hirose explores these ethical questions and analyzes the central issues in the ethics of pandemic response and preparedness such as:
- The general nature of pandemics and the ethics of preparedness
- Ethical questions about general goals of pandemic response and preparedness
- The distribution of scarce resources, for example, ventilators, hospital beds, antiviral drugs, and vaccines
- Restrictions on individual freedom
- Ethical questions in the wake of pandemics, including contact tracing, vaccine passports, and socioeconomic inequalities.
With the use of real-life examples and a clear philosophical approach, The Ethics of Pandemics is a much-needed introduction to some of the most important ethical issues surrounding pandemics. It is essential reading for students of ethics, bioethics, and political philosophy and will also be of interest to those working in related areas such as public policy, public health, health law, nursing, and life sciences.
