Michael L. Gross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael L. Gross (b. 1954) is a political ethicist and lecturer in political science at the University of Haifa where he is co-director of the Graduate Program in Applied and Professional Ethics in the Division of International Relations.

He is the author of Bioethics and Armed Conflict, the first comprehensive study of medical ethics in conventional, unconventional, and low-intensity war which examines the dilemmas that arise when bioethical principles clash with military necessity. His contention is that medical ethics in time of war cannot be identical to medical ethics in peacetime.
