Pandemics like COVID-19 confront us with decisions about life and death that come with great uncertainty, factual as well as moral. How should policy makers deal with such uncertainty? We suggest that rather than to deliberate until they have found the right course of action, they better do moral experiments that generate relevant experiences to enable more reliable moral evaluations and rational decisions.
像 COVID-19 这样的大流行病使我们面临着生死抉择,这些抉择既带有事实不确定性,也带有道德不确定性。政策制定者应该如何应对这种不确定性?我们建议,他们不应等到找到正确的行动方案才进行审议,而应进行道德实验,生成相关经验,从而使道德评估更加可靠,决策更加合理。
