Commentary : the interface between global bioethics and Christian ethics

Abstract

The ethical issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic on the international scene clearly indicate that bioethical issues have no national or regional boundaries. Indeed, bioethical issues and concerns have become global and planetary! All countries around the world have faced common challenges of how to safeguard public health; develop bioethical guidelines to assist health care professionals, administrators and public authorities in their thorny decision-making process in a context of scarce resources; and to foster international cooperation in biotechnological research to speed up the process of an effective and safe vaccine to curb the pandemic.
