GLOBAL HEALTH ETHICS FOR STUDENTS

DEVELOPING WORLD BIOETHICS, Issue 1 2009
ANDREW D. PINTO
ABSTRACT As a result of increased interest in global health, more and more medical students and trainees from the ,developed world' are working and studying in the ,developing world'. However, while opportunities to do this important work increase, there has been insufficient development of ethical guidelines for students. It is often assumed that ethics training in developed world situations is applicable to health experiences globally. However, fundamental differences in both clinical and research settings necessitate an alternative paradigm of analysis. This article is intended for teachers who are responsible for preparing students prior to such experiences. A review of major ethical issues is presented, how they pertain to students, and a framework is outlined to help guide students in their work. [source]

Public Health Ethics: The Voices of Practitioners

THE JOURNAL OF LAW, MEDICINE & ETHICS, Issue 2003
Ruth Gaare Bernheim
ABSTRACT Public health ethics is emerging as a new field of inquiry, distinct not only from public health law, but also from traditional medical ethics and research ethics. Public health professional and scholarly attention is focusing on ways that ethical analysis and a new public health code of ethics can be a resource for health professionals working in the field. This article provides a preliminary exploration of the ethical issues faced by public health professionals in day-to-day practice and of the type of ethics education and support they believe may be helpful.

THE FUTURE OF BIOETHICS: THREE DOGMAS AND A CUP OF HEMLOCK

BIOETHICS, Issue 5 2010
ANGUS DAWSON
ABSTRACT In this paper I argue that bioethics is in crisis and that it will not have a future unless it begins to embrace a more Socratic approach to its leading assumptions. The absence of a critical and sceptical spirit has resulted in little more than a dominant ideology. I focus on three key issues. First, that too often bioethics collapses into medical ethics. Second, that medical ethics itself is beset by a lack of self-reflection that I characterize here as a commitment to three dogmas. Third, I offer a more positive perspective by suggesting how bioethics may benefit from looking towards public health ethics as a new source of inspiration and direction. [source]
