Abstract

The tension between the economy and health care in the United States was on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to raise uncomfortable questions for the medical and faith communities. Chief among the issues raised is the inequality that emerged between the healthy and vulnerable, which caused vocal proponents to encourage the vulnerable to sacrifice their lives in order for the economy to continue unfettered by the pandemic. This article explores how “COVID capitalism” constricted the ability of the health care community to execute its duties morally and promote the health and well-being of the nation’s elderly. It argues that the practices of vulnerability and dependence, viewed through the cardinal virtues, unseat the economic reason at the heart of COVID capitalism and promote health as a central good alongside economic well-being.
共同的人性:新冠肺炎资本主义与医疗伦理的未来
在新冠肺炎大流行期间,美国经济和医疗保健之间的紧张关系得到了充分展示,并继续给医学界和信仰界带来令人不安的问题。提出的主要问题是健康人和弱势群体之间出现的不平等,这导致支持者鼓励弱势群体牺牲自己的生命,以使经济继续不受疫情的影响。本文探讨了“新冠肺炎资本主义”如何限制医疗保健界道德履行职责、促进国家老年人健康和福祉的能力。它认为,从基本美德来看,脆弱性和依赖性的做法推翻了新冠肺炎资本主义核心的经济原因,并将健康作为经济福祉的核心利益。
