医护人员在非典期间面临的风险的严重性，以及他们面对这种风险时的服务反应，揭示了关于责任和风险的不切实际的假设，这些假设引发了艾滋病毒/艾滋病早期关于护理责任的辩论。护理义务并非基于卫生专业的特定美德，而是源于社会反思，即对流行病的应对措施将符合我们的价值观和需求，并认识到我们对疾病和死亡的共同脆弱性。这种反思保证了强烈的护理义务，但这种义务不能仅仅由个别医护人员的利他主义和英雄主义来承担。
The seriousness of the risk that healthcare workers faced during SARS, and their response of service in the face of this risk, brings to light unrealistic assumptions about duty and risk that informed the debate on duty to care in the early years of HIV/AIDS. Duty to care is not based upon particular virtues of the health professions, but arises from social reflection on what response to an epidemic would be consistent with our values and our needs, recognizing our shared vulnerability to disease and death. Such reflection underwrites a strong duty of care, but one not to be borne solely by the altruism and heroism of individual healthcare workers.
