Ethical Issues of Elders During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Elders are facing severe marginalization in modern society, especially during the pandemic. It is because of this marginalization and lack of resources, that the elders face many ethical issues in their daily life. Under the COVID-19 Pandemic, ethical issues dealing with vaccines, priority, and isolation are really worth attention. This research collects some of the main ethical issues found during the COVID-19 pandemic, focuses on finding the root cause of each, and gives a possible future alternative. This research brings up three major ethical issues, each discussing priority, vaccination, and isolation. As a research based on other expert’s findings, this research uses pieces of evidence to prove the importance and the severity of the ethical issues listed above. The central aim of this research is to inform people about the existence of such problems, hence, suggesting the importance of necessary solutions, such as communication.
