PHIL 104 - Ethics and Epidemics: from AIDS to COVID-2019

The global AIDS pandemic presented a public health challenge of unprecedented dimensions - a challenge which tested not only our scientific and medical establishments, but our commitment to social justice, professional fidelity, interpersonal solidarity and, especially, to the care of the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged populations. This seminar will examine the AIDS pandemic in all its dimensions - biological, epidemiological, moral, legal, medical, and social - and ask: What did we do right? What did we do wrong? The seminar will then examine a newer public health threat (perhaps COVID-2019) and ask: What should we do this time?
