A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dónal O'Mathúna has degrees in pharmacy and bioethics. He is Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and Human Sciences at Dublin City University in Ireland and the College of Nursing at The Ohio State University in the USA. He is widely published in bioethics and has led an EU-funded network examining the developing field of disaster bioethics. As Chair of this COST Action on disaster bioethics, he has helped to bring together a network of scholars, humanitarian organisations, and international organisations to identify, examine and address ethical issues in disasters. This has led to publications and funded research projects on the ethical challenges arising with disasters of both natural and human origins. This work has led to his involvement in expert committees developing ethics guidelines for disasters, including those of the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), andothers. He has a particular interest in how nonideal moral theory can be applied in disasters, on the importance of addressing vulnerability in disasters, and the place of research ethics in disasters. He has a long-standing interest in research ethics more generally, having chaired his university's research ethics committee for a number of years.
