Abstract

Do bioethicists have an obligation to speak out against such atrocities as Hamas' terrorism and Israel's war crimes? I will argue that they do have such an obligation, but not because they are bioethicists or even ethicists. Before driving home this conclusion, I will highlight some crucial facts in applying criteria for ethical engagement in warfare. Although I maintain that Hamas' terrorist attack of October 7 involved crimes against humanity that deserve condemnation, here I will focus on Israel's subsequent conduct, the ethical significance of which has been insufficiently appreciated among those who embrace a highly prevalent double standard_.

伦理学家和加沙战争。

我认为他们确实有这样的义务，但不是因为他们是生物伦理学家，甚至不是伦理学家。在得出这个结论之前，我将强调在战争中应用道德交战标准的一些关键事实。虽然我坚持认为，哈马斯10月7日的恐怖袭击涉及反人类罪，应该受到谴责，但我在这里将重点放在以色列随后的行为上，那些奉行普遍双重标准的人没有充分认识到其道德意义。

期刊介绍： As medical technology continues to develop, the subject of bioethics has an ever increasing practical relevance for all those working in philosophy, medicine, law, sociology, public policy, education and related fields. Bioethics provides a forum for well-argued articles on the ethical questions raised by current issues such as: international collaborative clinical research in developing countries; public health; infectious disease; AIDS; managed care; genomics and stem cell research. These questions are considered in relation to concrete ethical, legal and policy problems, or in terms of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories used in discussions of such problems. Bioethics also features regular Background Briefings on important current debates in the field. These feature articles provide excellent material for bioethics scholars, teachers and students alike.
