  1. Pharmaceuticals in the Water: The Need for Environmental Bioethics.Thomas Milovac - 2023 - Journal of Medical Humanities 44 (2):245-250.

    Humans and other species depend on the planet’s well-being to survive and flourish. The health of the planet and its ecosystems is under threat from anthropogenic climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.
