In risk we trust? Making decisions about knee replacement
Risk communication is a key legal and ethical component of shared decision-making. Decisions about total knee replacement, a common surgery, must contend with the fact that a minority of cases result in unintended outcomes, some of which have devastating effects. To understand how risks are communicated during decision-making, we audio-recorded and analysed 62 consultations between surgeons and patients. Various communication methods were evident…
What empirical research has been undertaken on the ethics of clinical research in India? A systematic scoping review and narrative synthesis
INTRODUCTION: The post-2005 rise in clinical trials and clinical research conducted in India was accompanied by frequent reports of unethical practices, leading to a series of regulatory changes.

Logical separation? Conjoined twins, slippery slopes and resource allocation
The recent decision in Re A (Conjoined Twins: Medical Treatment) [2001] 1 FLR 1 to separate 'Jodie' and 'Mary' might have far-reaching implications. Despite the Court of Appeal's protestations to the contrary, the ruling, and in particular the reasoning regarding 'best interests' and the lawfulness of separation, must have set a precedent. Perhaps most problematically, it appears that the court's reasoning can be employed to justify killing one p…
Withholding and withdrawing nutrition/hydration
The General Medical Council recently found a doctor guilty of ‘serious professional misconduct’, following his instructions to withdraw nutrition from a stroke patient. The patient subsequently died. The Crown Prosecution Service declined to prosecute. This case serves to illustrate some of the problems with the law relating to withholding and withdrawing nutrition/hydration. From a rational perspective, it can be seen that the current law is con…
