This session begins by reviewing general approaches to bioethical challenges through an overview of major philosophical approaches with attention to Beauchamp and Childress' (Four) Principles of Biomedical Ethics. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a paradigm, it will explore the successes and lessons learned from the work of bioethics in the pandemic context. The experience of COVID-19 and the disparities laid bare will serve as an introduction to a variety of lenses, strategies, and opportunities through which bioethics can strive to chart a path forward to achieve health care justice in its broadest forms.
