Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat die Fragilität des Gesundheitssystems, der Gesellschaft und der Wirtschaft beim Auftreten von weltweiten Krisen deutlich gemacht. Um auf die nächste Krise besser vorbereitet zu sein, stellen sich gesundheitspolitische, wirtschaftliche, rechtliche, ethische und politische Fragen. Zu diesem Thema veranstaltete die Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) am 29. Juni 2021 ein Symposium. Gibt es bessere Strategien für mehr Resilienz, Effektivität und Gerechtigkeit? Was kann man dem Markt überlassen, was ist Sache des Staates? Wie sortiert man Finanzierung, Verantwortlichkeiten und Entscheidungsrechte innerhalb eines Landes und über die (europäischen) Ländergrenzen hinweg. Ausgewählte Beiträge zum Symposium werden in diesem Wirtschaftsdienst-Zeitgespräch zusammengefasst. ; The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of the health system, society and economy when global crises occur.

This volume gives an overview on the currently debated ethical issues regarding advance directives from an international perspective. It focuses on a wider understanding of the known and widely accepted concept of patient self-determination for future situations. Although advance directives have been widely discussed since the 1980s, the ethical bases of advance directives still remain a matter of heated debates. The book aims to contribute to these controversial debates by integrating fundamental ethical issues on advance directives with practical matters of their implementation. Cultural, national and professional differences in how advance directives are understood by health care professions and by patients, as well as in laws and regulations, are pinpointed
