Description
Résumé:In this article, I draw from the experience of the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia to study how public health bioethics influences political decision-making. Using the case studies of a lockdown of public housing apartments and hotel quarantine workers, I argue that when the good end of containing the virus is used to justify any means to achieve this, essential moral goods are sacrificed. Against this perspective, I suggest that several tools of theological ethics provide an important corrective, and should be advanced in a prophetic way to assure the dignity of all.
