Description:

In the context of current pandemic times, care for individuals must be correlated with respect for ethical rules, norms and standards, even if they may suffer some derogation. The concern of bioethicists during this period should be precisely the analysis of these derogation and the signalling of the slippages from the bioethical principles and from the ethical values of the western civilisation, of the free world (Author).

Areas of interest:
