Why Kill the Cabin Boy?
Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 30 (1):4-9 (2021)
Abstract
The task of combatting and defeating Covid-19 calls for drastic measures as well as cool heads. It also requires that we keep our nerve and our moral integrity. In the fight for survival, as individuals and as societies, we must not lose our grip on the values and the compassion that make individual and collective survival worth fighting for, or indeed worth having.1My notes
