QC #54 - COVID & Society - Do matters of public health justify restrictions on individual freedoms?
Description
In the past few weeks the world has rapidly shut down. But to what extent do matters of public health justify the sidelining of individual liberties, such as the right to free movement and bodily integrity? According to legal scholar Prof Brigit Toebes (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) governments have to constantly weigh individual freedoms against the need to protect society as a whole. The course 'COVID & Society' is brought by UMC Utrecht. Experts from different scientific areas teach us how we should be dealing with the outbreak from different perspectives. Watch these interdisciplinary webinars about the corona outbreak and its implications, with perspectives from the biomedical sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.
