Medicine's duty to treat pandemic illness: Solidarity and vulnerability
Hastings Center Report 39 (1):40-48 (2012)
Abstract
Most accounts of why physicians have a duty to treat patients during a pandemic look to the special ethical standards of the medical profession. An adequate account must be deeper and broader: it must set the professional duty alongside other individual commitments and broader social values.My notes
