Download Biosecurity Dilemmas: Dreaded Diseases, Ethical Responses, and the Health of Nations AudioBook Free
Biosecurity Dilemmas examines conflicting beliefs and interests in the practice of "biosecurity," the safeguarding of populations against infectious diseases through security policies. Biosecurity encompasses both natural event of dangerous disease outbreaks and the utilization of biological weapons.Christian Enemark targets six dreaded diseases that government authorities and international organizations give high main concern for research, rules, surveillance, and swift response: pandemic influenza, drug-resistant tuberculosis, smallpox, Ebola, plague, and anthrax. The reserve is arranged around four moral dilemmas that arise when fear triggers these diseases to be framed in terms of countrywide or international security: protect or proliferate, secure or stifle, solution or overkill, and attention or neglect.For example, will prioritizing research into defending against a exceptional event such as a bioterrorist assault divert funds from research into commonly occurring diseases? Or will securitizing a specific disease actually stifle research progress due to security classification options?Enemark provides a comprehensive research of the ethics of securitizing disease and explores ideas and policy recommendations about biological biceps and triceps control, global health security, and general population health ethics.The reserve is printed by Georgetown University or college Press.
