This book explores how the pandemic has transformed our understanding of the world, characterized by its inherent global connectivity. It argues that a moral vision is essential to articulate the profound experience of being interconnected in this interconnected world. Consequently, a perspective of global bioethics is presented, offering a broader framework than mainstream bioethics, which recognizes the importance of vulnerability and solidarity. Through a unique global lens, the book addresses the moral complexities of the pandemic, placing the confrontation with death, disease, and disability within a broader framework of ethical concerns.
