TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Strange bedfellows? Reflections on bioethics' role in disaster response planning JO - American journal of bioethics A1 - Berg, J. A1 - King, Nicholas SP - 3 EP - 5 VL - 6 IS - 5 N2 - This essay considers the potential role of bioethics in disaster response planning and preparedness. Bioethicists can make substantial contributions, by ensuring that decision-making and distribution of resources during crises is carried out in a fair and just manner, as well as by examining the assumptions upon which disaster planning are based. Bioethicists should also be aware of potential pitfalls of overly-hasty engagement with this new field.
