Paper 2
Ethical Dilemma Raised by COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 created havoc on our society. With millions of people infected, surges of seriously ill COVID-19 patients, shortages of supplies, rationing of testing, and competing obligations of health care workers who are concerned about their own lives and the lives of their family, many ethical questions were created by this crisis.
In this assignment, identify three ethical dilemmas associated with COVID-19, and answer the following questions in your discussion.
- What is the ethical dilemma?
- What are the issues surrounding the dilemma?
- What are your recommendations to resolve it?
- What changes in health care do you think will occur in the future due to this pandemic experience?
