Abstract
PUYOL, Àngel. The idea of solidarity in public health ethics. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2017, n.40, pp.33-47. Epub Nov 02, 2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
Traditionally, solidarity has gone unnoticed in public health ethics. However, some authors are currently demanding the need to take into account solidarity as a guiding principle. Dawson and Jennings are one of those authors, but their concept of solidarity has at least three contradictions: in it, the descriptive with the normative are confused, as the motivational role with the justifier role of an action, and also the place which solidarity must occupy in a theory of justice in health. We need to resolve these contradictions to properly conceptualize the idea of solidarity in public health ethics if we want that it to have a relevant role and no longer a purely testimonial value.
