Abstract

This project investigates the Corona-related challenges to health care ethics in a local and global perspective based on qualitative expert interviews with bioethicists worldwide. The project contributes to an in-depth understanding of contextualizing Corona health care dilemmas and provides a sustainable, continuing, publicly available archive of dilemmas and proposals for solutions and future reflections by innovatively integrating an empirical-ethical analysis of the expert interviews as well as a case study collection incl. didactical material for teaching bioethics and a translation into society via a virtual platform with podcasts, videos and blogs.
