The editors of De Ethica are pleased to announce a special issue in 2021 on Health care priority setting – lessons learned from covid-19. The ongoing pandemic situation put pressure on a number of issues discussed in the literature on priority setting. Covid-19 and its specific characteristics also raise a new set of questions. This special issue draws on ethicists’ (broadly understood) experiences from working on ethical questions in relation to covid-19. Which are the lessons learned?
We invite submissions on all aspects of this topic. Questions and issues include but are not limited to:
- What conclusions can be drawn from working on ethical question in relation to covid-19?
- Are there relevant ethical questions that have been over-looked in the discussion about covid-19?
- What is the relevant competence that ethicists (broadly understood) have for contributing to questions about covid-19?
- In what sense is ethical theory relevant to guide decision-making in a pandemic situation?
- Are there specific methodological questions that relate to an extreme situation such as covid-19?
- Are principles used for priority setting under normal circumstances applicable in pandemic times?
- Which is the appropriate relation between ethics and legislation on the one hand, and between ethics and politics on the other, when societies are suffering from pandemic?
