Can public health authorities forcefully isolate and quarantine individuals with communicable diseases? Can humanitarian workers lie to save thousands of lives? What to do when vaccine supplies save millions of children but infect thousands with hepatitis B and HIV? How can Ebola vaccine research be carried out during an outbreak? Dr. Pakes will lead a discussion of these real-life public health and global health ethical dilemmas and use talmudic and responsa literature, as well as his own Global Health Ethical Reflection Matrix to begin to answer them.
