16The ethical concept of medicine as a profession discovery or invention?Journal of Medical Ethics 45 (12): 786-787. 2019.Rosamond Rhodes makes a persuasive case for the view that medical ethics does not derive from common morality.1 Rhodes identifies the challenge that immediately arises and its corollary: Whence the origin of medical ethics?

28Responsibly counselling women about the clinical management of pregnancies complicated by severe fetal anomaliesJournal of Medical Ethics 38 (7): 397-398. 2012.Heuser, Eller and Byrne provide important descriptive ethics data about how physicians counsel women on the clinical management of pregnancies complicated by severe fetal anomalies.

28A methodology for teaching ethics in the clinical setting: A clinical handbook for medical ethicsTheoretical Medicine and Bioethics 15 (1). 1994.The pluralism of methodologies and severe time constraints pose important challenges to pedagogy in clinical ethics. We designed a step-by-step student handbook to operate within such constraints and to respect the methodological pluralism of bioethics and clinical ethics. The handbook comprises six steps: Step 1: What are the facts of the case?; Step 2: What are your obligations to your patient?; Step 3: What are your obligations to third parties to your relationship with the patient?; Step 4: …Read more

38Should we create a health care system in the united states?Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 19 (5): 483-490. 1994.An orthodoxy has arisen which claims that there is a crisis in the United States health care system such that the system needs to be reformed. This essay challenges that orthodoxy by showing that we do not have a health care system in the United States. We have a non-system of health care, just as we do for virtually all basic social institutions. Challenging the current orthodoxy surfaces two ethical issues that have been ignored: creating a health care system will (a) cause resurgent paternali…Read more

23Power, integrity, and trust in the managed practice of medicine: Lessons from the history of medical ethicsSocial Philosophy and Policy 19 (2): 180-211. 2002.Bioethics as a field began some years before it was finally named in the early 1970s. In many ways, bioethics originated in response to urgent matters of the moment, including the controversy over disconnecting Karen Quinlan's respirator, the egregious paternalism of Donald Cowart's doctors in the famous “Dax” case, the abuse of research subjects in the notorious Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and the need to devise an intellectual framework for the development of federal regulations to protect human …Read more

As a consequence, the field of clinical ethics lacks the internal, corrective effect of review articles that are designed to reduce potential bias. This article inaugurates a new section of the annual "Clinical Ethics" issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy on systematic reviews. Using recently articulated standards fo…Read more
