Responses to Professors Elizabeth Bounds, Michael G. Cartwright and Laurie Zoloth in their comments on Testing the National Covenant
Daniel Callahan
On the Many Voices of Bioethics
Across the last twenty-five years, writers in the field of bioethics have concentrated chiefly on moral dilemmas that beset practitioners. They have appealed to rules and principles that will help to solve or resolve such quandaries. This caseoriented, problem-solving view of ethics fits smoothly into the curriculum of medical schools and teaching hospitals, since medical education already focuses on cases. Moralists, operating in this mode, have…
The Molested
Within medical ethics, moralists have reflected more on the\nprofessional's quandaries than on the patient's ordeal. Yet if professionals\nare to help their patients, they must see clearly the variety of suffering\ntheir patients experience.

Religious Justifications for Donating Body Parts

Who Cares for the Elderly
entailed a kind of abandonment of the aged. It meant leaving the old country, the land of one's forebears, for a strange land, often without the comfort of one's mother tongue-all for the sake of the young. Immigrants made an extraordinary sacrifice and placed an extraordinary pressure on their sons and daughters. In Great Britain, W.H. Auden once said, children feel pressure to live up to their parents; but in America, until the 1950s, parents e…
