I sit down with Dr. Kerry Bowman, a Canadian bioethicist and environmentalist, to discuss the ethical implications of vaccine mandates and pandemic policies. We explore the balance between individual autonomy and collective responsibility, the unintended consequences of strict public health measures, and how marginalized groups—including Indigenous communities and those with disabilities—were affected.

Dr. Bowman also discusses the role of social interaction in mental well-being and how policy decisions during the pandemic may have fueled social isolation. Finally, we touch on the ethics of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) and how Canada’s evolving policy on euthanasia raises critical questions about social determinants of health.
