The outrage over migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard is justified. But we're missing the bigger story.

Katherine Peeler, MD, joint fellow-in-residence at The Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics and Center for Bioethics, wrote a commentary for WBUR Cognoscenti about the 50 U.S. migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard last week by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Peeler writes about the ethical obligations we have to those 50 people, and to our fellow humans across the globe. "If we are going to make progress as a country," she writes, "we need a new social compact — one that starts with recognition of our common humanity. We need to believe that people are good. And we need to help each other help each other."
