Abstract

A physician says, "I have an ethical obligation never to cause the death of a patient," another responds, "My ethical obligation is to relieve pain even if the patient dies." The current argument over the role of physicians in assisting patients to die constantly refers to the ethical duties of the profession. References to the Hippocratic Oath are often heard. Many modern problems, from assisted suicide to accessible health care, raise questions about the traditional ethics of medicine and the medical profession. However, few know what the traditional ethics are and how they came into being. This book provides a brief tour of the complex story of medical ethics evolved over centuries in both Western and Eastern culture. It sets this story in the social and cultural contexts in which the work of healing was practiced and suggests that, behind the many different perceptions about the ethical duties of physicians, certain themes appear constantly, and may be relevant to modern debates. The book begins with the Hippocratic medicine of ancient Greece, moves through the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Enlightenment in Europe, and the long history of Indian 7nd Chinese medicine, ending as the problems raised modern medical science and technology challenge the settled ethics of the long tradition.

Abstract

Le 50e anniversaire de l'institution de la sécurité sociale a nourri nombre de réflexions sur la contradiction, sans cesse grandissante, apparue entre la volonté affirmée des pouvoirs publics d'assurer un égal accès aux soins pour tous les citoyens, et l'impossibilité, de plus en plus manifeste pour l'Etat, d'assumer seul la charge de cette ambition. Les tâtonnements successifs auxquels ont donné lieu des recherches de solutions montrent de plus en plus clairement la nécessité de définir, au préalable, les contours d'une politique globale de santé publique.D'autre part, dans un univers en plein bouleversement, médecine et médecins n'ont pour toute boussole qu'un serment d'Hippocrate, dont la valeur morale se situe, certes, hors de l'espace et du temps, mais auquel il est quand même difficile d'apporter des réponses adaptées à des questionnements d'une autre dimension. Et si c'est au politique, s'appuyant sur la réflexion éthique, qu'il faut aujourd'hui faire appel pour redonner au monde de la médecine - et au monde de la santé, tout entier - les bases indispensables à la construction d'une action au service de l'homme, c'est aussi - et surtout - le rôle de la médecine d'engager une telle action, pour redonner une dimension d'être à une profession revendiquant sa véritable vocation.

Abstract

It starts with the definitive twentieth century analysis of the Hippocratic Oath and then shows how most religious and philosophical traditions differ from the ethical commitments contained in that classic document. Some like the quaint, medieval "Hippocratic Oath In So Far as a Christian May Swear It," show how it is impossible to commit to both the Hippocratic Oath and the Christian (or Jewish) religion at the same time. Others, representing modern secular liberal political philosophy, show how the mainstream of Western law and philosophy are radically at odds with the Hippocratic tradition. Still others reflect ancient Eastern cultures--Hinduism, Buddhism, and the philosophies of China--or other traditions outside the modern, liberal West, such as Islam and Marxism. The second edition includes, for the first time, articles presenting perspectives on both African and African-American medical ethics.

Abstract

The term 'bioethics' was coined in 1971, just as interest in the medical humanities claimed a prominent place in medical education. Out of this interest, a substantial area of research and scholarship took shape: the philosophy of medicine. This field has been directed to the epistemological, ontological, and value-theoretical issues occasioned by medicine and the biomedical sciences. Bioethics is nested in this field and can only be fully understood in terms of the foundational issues it addresses. This collection of essays in honor of Stuart F. Spicker, one of the individuals who gave shape to the philosophy of medicine, lays out the broad scope of concerns from the philosophy of embodiment, to issues of the role of ethics consultants, to concepts of disease, equity and the meaning of history.
