Who Says You’re Dead by Jacob M. Appel is a book on medical & ethical dilemmas written for the lay person. In the book Appel lays out a scenario without comment, allowing you space to think about it and form your own initial conclusions. He then provides the medical ethicist’s take on the scenario. The whole thing is highly engaging and easily understood even when there are no concrete ethical solutions to the proposed problem. The book is broken into sections; including sections on body parts, making babies, the good of the many (your pandemic related scenarios), and end-of-life issues.
I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys thinking about the moral rights and wrongs that can be encountered at the doctor or in the hospital.
