    AbstractGiven the enduring inequities in US health and health care, it is no surprise that particular communities are bearing the disproportionate brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic and our responses to it. Many ethical aspects of the pandemic involve diverse communities bound by race, ethnicity, disability, income, residence, age, and more. How does bioethics engage these communities in theory and in practice? Only faintly, despite Covid-19's relentless reminder that communities matter morally. This article sketches initial directions for developing a community-inclusive bioethics, one that understands communities as critical moral participants in the work of bioethics as well as in health and health care.© 2020 The Hastings Center.
