In June 2020, The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity presented an online conference entitled Bioethics in Real Life: Lessons We're Learning from COVID-19. This volume collects the proceedings of that timely conference, which examined an array of bioethical considerations arising from the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.The chapters in this edited volume examine developments arising from the ways in which various theoretical and philosophical aspects of bioethics have been challenged, confirmed, or even torn apart by on-the-ground, real-life experiences amid this pandemic. While this is certainly not the world's first pandemic, COVID-19 is unique in the experience of modern medicine, not least because of the interconnectedness of a globalized world. It has tested surge capacity and has raised the prospect of difficult, truly life-and-death triage decisions.Questions addressed by the works in this volume include: In what ways do we better understand the goals of medicine as well as the role of physicians and other healthcare providers in a time of pandemic? What are the implications of attempts to locate effective therapies and vaccines during an ongoing crisis? How have our ideas regarding moral distress and injury been impacted? What does the experience of pandemic look like within communities that deal with ongoing issues of marginalization? What theological resources might be brought to bear on questions like these in light of our recent experience?The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity's annual conference is the leading venue for Christian bioethical engagement, providing opportunities for equipping and education as well as professional development and academic engagement across a variety of disciplines and professional contexts.
