Medical Ethics: Common or Uncommon Morality?
Cambridge quarterly of healthcare ethics : CQ : the international journal of healthcare ethics committees, 2020Co-Authors: Rosamond RhodesAbstract:This paper challenges the long-standing and widely accepted view that Medical Ethics is nothing more than common morality applied to clinical matters. It argues against Tom Beauchamp and James Childress's four principles; Bernard Gert, K. Danner Clouser and Charles Culver's ten rules; and Albert Jonsen, Mark Siegler, and William Winslade's four topics approaches to Medical Ethics. First, a negative argument shows that common morality does not provide an account of Medical Ethics and then a positive argument demonstrates why the Medical profession requires its own distinctive Ethics. The paper also provides a way to distinguish roles and professions and an account of the distinctive duties of Medical Ethics. It concludes by emphasizing ways in which the uncommon morality approach to Medical Ethics is markedly different from the common morality approach.

Good and not so good Medical Ethics
Journal of medical ethics, 2014Co-Authors: Rosamond RhodesAbstract:In this paper, I provide a brief sketch of the purposes that Medical Ethics serves and what makes for good Medical Ethics. Medical Ethics can guide clinical practice and bioMedical research, contribute to the education of clinicians, advance thinking in the field, and direct healthcare policy. Although these are distinct activities, they are alike in several critical respects. Good Medical Ethics is coherent, illuminating, accurate, reasonable, consistent, informed, and measured. After this overview, I provide specific examples to illustrate some of the ways in which Medical Ethics could go wrong as a caution and a reminder that taking on the role of an ethicist involves serious responsibilities that must be exercised with care.

Two concepts of Medical Ethics and their implications for Medical Ethics education.
The Journal of medicine and philosophy, 2002Co-Authors: Rosamond RhodesAbstract:People who discuss Medical Ethics or bioEthics come to very different conclusions about the levels of agreement in the field and the implications of consensus among health care professionals. In this paper I argue that these disagreements turn on a confusion of two distinct senses of Medical Ethics. I differentiate (1) Medical Ethics as a subject in applied Ethics from (2) Medical Ethics as the professional moral commitments of health care professions. I then use the distinction to explain its significant implications for Medical Ethics education. Drawing on the recent work of John Rawls, I also show the centrality of philosophy in Medical Ethics by illustrating how contemporary philosophy can be used to construct an ethical framework for the Medical professions.

What is the History of Medical Ethics
The Cambridge World History of Medical Ethics, 2008Co-Authors: Robert Baker, Laurence B. McculloughAbstract:INTRODUCTION This chapter's title is an interrogative: “What is the history of Medical Ethics?” Readers perusing the table of contents might be prompted to ask precisely this question. The expected chronological account seems hidden behind a facade of unfamiliar rhetoric about discourses, life cycles, and society. Our approach reflects a new era of scholarship on the history of Medical Ethics. Because readers may not be cognizant of the new scholarship, we introduce this volume with a chapter exploring the history of the history of Medical Ethics and the reasons why scholars have begun to take new approaches to the subject. HOW OLD IS “Medical Ethics”? Histories have to begin somewhere. The expression “Medical Ethics” was not coined until 1803, when Thomas Percival (1740–1804), a physician from Manchester, England, introduced it in his eponymous book Medical Ethics (Percival 1803b) as a description of the professional duties of physicians and surgeons to their patients, to their fellow practitioners, and to the public (see Chapters 18 and 36). As Percival was the first person to use the expression Medical Ethics, there is a sense in which the history of something designated Medical Ethics cannot predate 1803. Most historians, however, treat the history of Medical Ethics as coextensive with the history of medicine. They presume that it does not matter when the expression Medical Ethics was coined. As Juliet famously remarked, “What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

argument based Medical Ethics a formal tool for critically appraising the normative Medical Ethics literature
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004Co-Authors: Laurence B. Mccullough, John H Coverdale, Frank A ChervenakAbstract:Although there are critical appraisal tools for other genres of the Medical literature, there currently is no formal tool for physicians to use in their critical appraisal of the normative Medical Ethics literature. We present a formal assessment tool for the critical appraisal of the normative Medical Ethics literature that incorporates the intellectual standards of argument-based Medical Ethics and evidence-based medicine. We draw on the intellectual standards of argument-based Ethics, ethical analysis and argument, and the literature on evidence-based medicine. The tool involves 4 questions about normative Medical Ethics papers: (1) Does the article address a focused Ethics question? (2) Are the arguments that support the results of the article valid? (3) What are the results? (4) Will the results help me in clinical practice? Obstetrician-gynecologists can use this tool to appraise the normative literature of Ethics in obstetrics and gynecology formally.

Medical Ethics education past present and future
Academic Medicine, 1995Co-Authors: E Fox, Robert M Arnold, Baruch A BrodyAbstract:This paper examines undergraduate Medical Ethics education in the United States during its 25-year history. Included is a brief description of early efforts in Medical Ethics education and a discussion of the traditional model of Ethics teaching, which emphasizes the knowledge and cognitive skills necessary for ethical decision making. The authors also discuss alternatives to the traditional model that focus more directly on students' personal values, attitudes, and behavior. Current areas of consensus in the field are then explored. Finally, the authors identify three incipient trends in Medical Ethics education--toward increased emphasis on everyday Ethics, student Ethics, and macroEthics. Throughout the paper, examples of specific courses and curricula are used to illustrate the modes and trends described.

Medical Ethics and Law
Kerala Medical Journal, 2009Co-Authors: T N Babu RavindranAbstract:Medical Ethics and Law are both dynamic and are in a constant state of change. New legislation and court decisions occur and Medical Ethics responds to challenges created by new technology, law or other influences. American Medical Association adopted its first code of Ethics in 1897. Since 1970, the growing influence of Ethics in contemporary medicine can be seen in the increasing use of institutional Review Boards to evaluate experiments in human subjects, the establishment of Hospital Ethics committee. The 6 values considered sacred in Medical Ethics are discussed. So it is the responsibility of the profession to see that it follows the noble path so that the dignity and credibility of the profession is maintained at all costs. Keywords: Medical Ethics, Ethical values, Hospital Ethics Committees
