Abstract
COVID 19 Impetus and Catalyst for an Ethical Imperative for Global Collaboration
Madeleine Schachter*
COVID-19 vividly illustrates the critical need to commit steadfastly to global biomedical ethics as an ethical imperative for the prevention and treatment of disease. We confront the pandemic against a rising tide of political and cultural nationalist sentiment that impede collaboration and multilateralism. But our integrity and indeed our very self-preservation depend upon a moral obligation to the global community. While the virus ubiquity highlights this ethical imperative, the practice of medicine generally demands this commitment.
