Overview

A royalty on this book’s sales will be paid 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. Previous pandemics and other public health emergencies have helped to some degree in preparing society for the difficult political and ethical decisions required in response to this outbreak. However, many of the effects and issues now in the public eye were nearly impossible to predict. 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 healthcare professionals to continue operating in dangerous work environments. Where possible, established precedents and principles are connected to the novel concerns faced during the COVID-19 outbreak. Articles, editorials, case studies, and blog posts are thoughtfully compiled and presented here in a format designed to bring readers into the public discourse. Links to additional readings are provided on a companion website, which will be updated to reflect the latest developments in the COVID-19 pandemic.
