Is it Permissible for Healthcare Workers to Stop Working if They Lack PPE?

from Thinking Out Loud: leading philosophers discuss topical global issues

Katrien Devolder interviews Udo Schüklenk. In the UK, more than 100 health and social care workers have died of Covid-19. Some of these deaths could have been prevented if these workers would have had better access to personal protective equipment (PPE). But there is a shortage. Do health and social workers have a moral obligation to continue to work if they lack access to PPE? Katrien Devolder Talks to Udo Schüklenk, professor of philosophy at Queen’s University, about this important issue.
