Emergency Ethics brings together leading scholars in the fields of
public health ethics and bioethics to discuss disaster or emergency
ethics and ethical aspects of preparedness and response with
specific application to public health policy and practice. The book
fills a gap in the existing public health ethics literature by
providing a comprehensive ethical conception of emergency
preparedness as a distinctive form of civic "practice " brought
about by the interrelationships and coordination of many groups,
disciplines, and interests and drawing on numerous bodies of
knowledge and expertise. It addresses particular aspects of
preparedness and response plans, particular decisions that planners
and communities have to make, decisions that require balancing many
diverse and sometimes conflicting values and identifying and
applying a framework of basic ethical principles for preparedness
planning, emergency response, and post-disaster recovery. It also
explores the relationship between emergency preparedness to other
facets of public health practice. The book begins with a broad and
synthetic overview of emergency ethics that addresses the central
components and ethically significant issues arising in public
health preparedness planning, disaster response, and recovery.
Following that overview are five chapters that in a philosophically
innovative and detailed way delve deeply into important and
problematic issues in emergency planning and response, including
the allocation of scarce resources, conducting ethical research in
the context of public health emergencies, the obligations of public
health professionals, communication and engagement with the public,
and special moral obligations surrounding vulnerable populations.
It is what it is An egg always returns home, I'm home once again.
My book is quite different from my book called 'Prayers and Poems'.
I just want to let everybody know I have a sense of humor in my
life and am not always serious as people may think about me. I
started writing this book in January of 2006 and it was finished on
July 19, 2006.
