Public Health Disasters: A Global Ethical Framework

Part of the book series: Advancing Global Bioethics ((AGBIO,volume 12))

  • 312 Accesses

Abstract

Natural and human-made disasters belong to the class of public health disasters largely because their disaster-related dynamics elicit different types of health consequences at the individual, social, trans-national, and global planes. This chapter examines and articulates the public health disaster dynamics of earthquakes and underscores how natural disasters may engender serious public health consequences. It also teases out the attendant moral quandaries and develops a solidaristic ethical lens in relation to resolving them.
