Savulescu: Pandemic Ethics C, (Hardcover)

"By any measure, the COVID-19 pandemic is a world historic event. The two sponsoring organizations of this volume were born in similar moments of shock and loss. For this reason, we are especially keen to see that this global-scale tragedy leads not to chaos and despair, but to the real possibility of a better future. Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs was founded in August 1914 to stop the slow-motion crisis that ignited World War I. The Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education was inspired by the life and work of Tetsuhiko Uehiro, a survivor of the atomic bomb. The COVID-19 pandemic is a generational calamity of similar magnitude that will forever be considered a "before and after" event"-- Provided by publisher.
