"Ethics of Everyday Medicine: Explorations of Justice examines and analyses the relatively unexplored domain of ethics involved in the everyday practice of medicine. From the author's clinical experience, virtually every decision made in the day-to-day practice of medicine is fundamentally an ethical question, as virtually every decision hinge on some value judgment that goes beyond the medical facts of the matter. The first part of the book is devoted to medical decision cases in several areas of medicine. These cases highlight elements of the current healthcare ecosystem, involving players other than the physician and patient. Insurers (private, commercial, and governmental), administrators, and regulators' perspectives are surfaced in point of care case analysis. Part two contributes to the development of actionable tools to develop better ethical systems for the everyday practice of medicine by providing a critical analysis of Reflective Equilibrium and ethical induction from the perspective of logic and statistics. The chapter on Justice discusses the neurophysiological representations of just and unjust behaviours. The chapter on Ethical Theories follows, describing the epistemic conundrum, principlism, reproducibility, abstraction, chaos and complexity. The following chapter approaches ethical decisions from the logic and statistic perspectives. The following chapter, The Patient as Parenthetical, the author discusses patient-centric ethics, and the rise of business- and government-cetric ethics. The final chapter, A Framework to Frame the Questions for Explore Further, proposes a working framework to deal with current ethical issues."--

Een goede medische dienstverlening waarbij de belangen van patiënten centraal staan, daar zouden goede deontologische regels mee voor moeten zorgen. Maar een goede deontologische code, wat is dat nu? Net dat is de focus van dit boek. De vraag wordt gesteld of een beroepscodificatie van deontologische regels wel voldoende garanties biedt op goede gezondheidszorgen. Daarnaast wordt nagegaan op welke manier de rechtmatigheid, de coherentie, de duidelijkheid en de uitvoerbaarheid van de deontologische regels gegarandeerd kunnen worden. Tot slot volgt de formulering van een voorstel tot een ‘Basiscode voor medische deontologie’. Het boek biedt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken een geïntegreerde en vernieuwde blik op het ‘medisch professionalisme’ met verwijzingen naar Belgische, Nederlandse, Franse, Amerikaanse, Britse en internationale juridische, ethische en sociologische literatuur. Artsen, patiënten, verzekeraars, advocaten, medewerkers van ziekenhuizen, bemiddelaars …, elk van hen zal op een leesbare en duidelijke manier inzicht kunnen krijgen in alle aspecten van een goede medische beroepsuitoefening.

This book provides an in-depth ethical analysis of the right to health care by contrasting privatized with socialized approaches. It pays special attention to how a socialized approach can be implemented in the context of limited resources and offers a way of integrating allocation decisions at the policy level with institutional and hands-on decision-making. It also discusses how the right to health care translates into duties on part of the members of society. In an Appendix, it suggests how, in time of need, the TRIPS Agreement allows countries to side-step patent regulations that would otherwise raise the cost of patented healthcare products beyond what a particular society is able to afford. The book is of interest not only to scholars but also to healthcare policy makers, administrators and healthcare professionals, as well as to patients themselves.

In this book, Christian Erk examines the ethical (im)permissibility of killing human beings in general and of selected killings in particular, namely suicide, lethal selfdefence, abortion and euthanasia, as well as organ transplantation and assisted suicide. He does so by addressing a range of important ethical questions: What does it mean to act? Of what elements is an action comprised? What is the difference between a good or evil action and a permissible or impermissible action? How can we determine whether an action is good or evil? Is there a moral duty not to kill? Is this duty held by and against all human beings or only persons? What and who is a person? What is human dignity and who has it? What is it that is actually taken when somebody is killed, i.e. what is life? And closely related to that: What and when is death? By integrating the answers to these questions into an argumentative architecture, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of mankind: Under which conditions, if any, is killing human beings ethically permissible?
