Immigration, Health Care, and the Duty to Rescue: The Ethical Challenges of an Open Society




Bioethics rests on classical medical-ethical questions about individual physician-patient relationships, but there is growing, urgent relevance to social, global and even environmental problems. The current immigration crisis is of global proportion and suggestive of the notion of “global bioethics.” What ethical challenges does immigration generate for a liberal society that claims to be “open?” As we face immigration and the massive movement of peoples, is there such a thing as a social “duty to rescue”? In the 2018 Annual Bioethics Lecture, Dr. Michael A. Rodriguez, Dr. Cecilia González-Andrieu, and Dr. Roberto Dell’Oro set out to answer these questions. Watch and read their answers below.
