In the realm of ethical discourse, the publication of 'Military Medical Ethics in Contemporary Armed Conflict' by Oxford University Press in 2021 has sparked significant interest. The book, authored by Michael L Gross, delves into the complexities of military medical ethics in the context of modern warfare.
The author, a distinguished individual with a diverse background in medicine, business, and academia, holds multiple titles including CB, OStJ, PhD, DM, MBA, MA, and MedSci. His extensive experience and qualifications lend credence to the insights presented in the book.
The book explores various topics, including the potential use of biomedical technologies as a weapon of war, the ethical implications of clinical biomedical research to improve military patient survival and clinical outcomes, and the ethics of human performance enhancement for military purposes.
It also discusses military medical ethics as applied to caring for the wounded on the battlefield, based on the experience of NATO and coalition forces during the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book further delves into the ethics of post-war reconstruction and the care of veterans with ongoing health problems as a result of their military service.
The book also addresses the ethics of conflict in the cyber and space domains and their potential impacts on human security on a global scale. It discusses the 'military necessity' argument and its potential justification for a military order that could be contrary to pure medical ethics.
One intriguing prediction made by the book is the potential use of 'mask' or 'vaccine' diplomacy by adversaries during the recent COVID crisis.
