Making Ethical Decisions
Ethical Strategies to Use
Ethical Strategies to Use
The Austrian government did not appoint an ethical watchdog or ombudsman. The person who fills this position would be responsible for ensuring that ethical issues would surface during discussions. During decisions, the role of the ethical watchdog should rotate periodically.
Always ask the key question: Which decision would produce the greatest good and the least harm to people?
Two Passing Tests
There are two ethical passing tests: The legal test and the stakeholder test
The legal test ensures the decision is not against the law or against the government regulations
The stakeholder test ensures the decision is in the best interest of the county’s people and other state regulators
Ethical Process to Apply and Conclusion
The Ethical Process
The ethical ombudsman is responsible for evaluating and communicating whether the decision-making process and implementation process is open, honest and not manipulative.
Conclusion
Important decisions in the Covid Pandemic cannot be made by the government alone without involving all stakeholders in the process. The Austrian government has created the disaster by not considering the ethical process as critical for managing the Covid Pandemic successfully.
