Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) concerning COVID-19

Abstract

Under the crisis of the pandemic of COVID-19, various stakeholders should discuss not only scientific risk but also its broader social impacts, including various ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI). In this paper, I describe discussions on ELSI of the pandemic from literature reviews and extracted ELSI agendas for the further discussions. Through analysis of literatures, I will point out that social vulnerability and gender equality is the essential perspectives for academic and policy-making on COVID-19.
