While Icarus Falls: Conditions for Pandemic Ethics
1Department of Sociology, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada. arthurwfrank@gmail.com.
Abstract:
This symposium contribution presents three vignettes of resistance to COVID-19 public health measures in Alberta, Canada, where I live. These show resolutely individualistic attitudes toward health and a desire to understand the pandemic as a one-off aberration. I then suggest four ways that the work of bioethics needs to change. These begin with situating the pandemic within the context of global climate emergency and end with how a new polarization diminishes possibilities for the rational dialogue that bioethics has here-to-fore assumed people would engage in.
