De enorme vlucht van technische ontwikkelingen in de geneeskunde leidt tot vele morele vragen. Traditionele en vastliggende, 'eeuwig en absoluut' geldende morele uitgangspunten lijken te statisch te zijn om richting te geven aan de voortdurend veranderende mogelijkheden. Volgens velen leidt dat tot het failliet van die uitgangspunten. Steeds meer mensen zijn ervan overtuigd dat morele oordelen tot stand komen onder invloed van historische en culturele omstandigheden. Er wordt in de ethiek dan ook in toenemende mate een beroep gedaan op 'ervaring'. Dit lijkt noodzakelijk tot moreel relativisme te leiden: morele oordelen worden tot een kwestie van persoonlijke opinie en komen niet meer op rationele wijze tot stand. In ONGEREGELDE MORAAL zoekt de filosofe Lieke van der Scheer naar een alternatief ervaringsbegrip dat als kern kan functioneren van een ethiek die wél normatief is. Alleen zo'n ethiek heeft namelijk praktische relevantie voor het menselijk handelen in het algemeen en voor de praktijk van de gezondheidszorg in het bijzonder. Op basis van het pragmatische ervaringsbegrip van de Amerikaanse filosoof John Dewey stelt zij een normatieve ethiek voor die niet volgens vaste regels is bepaald, maar de nadruk legt op kritisch en objectief onderzoek van gedrag. Met een dergelijke ongeregelde moraal kan ook in de ethiek geleerd worden van eerdere ervaringen. Van der Scheer werkt deze stelling uit aan de hand van de vraag of nog levende anencefalen - kinderen geboren zonder (hogere) hersenen - als orgaandonor mogen dienen. Daarbij gaat zij de confrontatie met ethici als Inez de Beaufort en Heleen Dupuis niet uit de weg.

The ethical theories employed in health care today assume, in the main, a modern Western philosophical framework. Yet the diversity of cultural and religious assumptions regarding human nature, health and illness, life and death, and the status of the individual suggest that a cross-cultural study of health care ethics is needed. A Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Health Care Ethics provides this study. It shows that ethical questions can be resolved by examining the ethical principles present in each culture, critically assessing each value, and identifying common values found within all traditions, It encourages the development of global awareness and sensitivity to and respect for the diversity of peoples and their values and will advance understanding as well as help to foster a greater balance and a fuller truth in consideration of the human condition and what makes for health and wholeness.

How much ethical teaching did you get as a medical student? What about as a registrar. How about in the last 5 years? Is it time for a refresher or perhaps even an introduction? The title General Practice and Ethics: Uncertainty and Responsibility certainly sounds relevant. Do the contents live up to expectations? This is not an introductory book, but it provides insights and questions that are relevant to all who are involved in family practice. The book is an edited series of chapters written by those involved in academic general practice in the UK. It is, however, relevant to those working in other health care systems. The first part of the book is devoted to themes. A series of chapters exploring uncertainty and responsibilities, evidence-based medicine, ethico-legal dilemmas, confidentiality and patient-centredness provide a different approach from the classic texts on biomedical ethics. This method works in that, although very concise, the authors outline several different models for dealing with dilemmas. The ‘themes' section finishes with a discussion of ethics and post-modernity. This for me was the chapter I had to re-read to get a grasp of it (to be honest I am still not sure I have yet understood all the concepts.) The second half of the book deals with several specific topics: prescribing, depression, advance directives and, finally, research. For most of us, the first three are important, the first two being very common—and both these chapters produced new insights into these common problems. The chapter on advance directives is a useful reader on a topic that promises to be an ethical maze when one is faced with a real case. The chapter about research may not be relevant to everyone, but is certain to be of increasing importance. Summing up then, this book is good value, well written and relevant to experienced practitioners. It can be dipped into or read cover to cover. Of note are the contemporary nature of the topics and the relevance of the whole volume to the practising family doctor. It makes a useful contribution to the literature.

The remarkably rapid growth of knowledge and practice in human and medical genetics raises significant questions about the social and ethical readiness of scientists, physicians, and others to make appropriate decisions concerning the utilization of this new genetic knowledge and technique. The continuing 'temptation' to engage in eugenic practices tracks all new moves in human genetics and construction of human genomes. This book will be of critical interest to historians, sociologists, and scientists who have concern and interest in the burgeoning field of human genetic studies and practices. Tracing the rapid growth of knowledge and practice in human and medical genetics, this book raises significant questions about the social and ethical readiness of scientists, physicians, and others to make appropriate decisions concerning the utilization of this new genetic knowledge and technique.
