Bioethics in dark times: Israel's attacks on the Gazan health system
Description
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation as we explore the intricate layers of the Israeli-Gaza conflict with the help of Tamara Kayali Browne and Zohar Lederman. Their unique insights as a Palestinian bioethicist and an Israeli emergency medicine physician with a bioethics background guide us through the turbulence of war, politics, and the ethics of healthcare under fire.
The moral maze of warfare challenges us to confront harrowing bioethical dilemmas, from the deliberate targeting of medical facilities to the withholding of life-sustaining resources. The experiences of vulnerable populations, like pregnant women and healthcare workers, underscore the intersection of human rights and public health, demanding a critical look at our ethical responsibilities. Our dialogue traverses the potential biases in global conflict coverage, urging healthcare professionals and academics to rise above the fray and champion human rights in their spheres of influence.
