流感大流行引发的伦理思考

Ethical Reflections of Influenza Pandemic

甲型H1N1流感大流行虽然已经过去,但却留下许多问题值得深思,如流行的严重程度远低于以往大流行,大流行的定义发生了变更、世界卫生组织与药厂是否存在利益关联。在流感大流行过程中,仍存在着资源分配不合理、疫情监测侵犯个人隐私、强制隔离剥夺人身自由等尚未解决的公共卫生伦理学问题,信息共享也尚需进一步加强。

The influenza A （H1N1） pandemic has already passed, but it left us many issues worthy of serious consideration, such as the severity of this pandemic is far lower than in the past, the definition of the pandemic changes and whether there are conflicts of interest between the WHO and the pharmaceutical companies. During the course of the pandemic, there are still many unresolved problems of public health ethics, such as unreasonable allocation of resources, invasion of personal privacy by the surveillance, deprivation of personal freedom by the forced isolation, and the sharing of information needs to be further strengthened.
