Can the Case Report Withstand Ethical Scrutiny
Since antiquity, doctors have employed case reports as an essential and ongoing part in communicating information about patients and their diseases to their colleagues and, at times, to the wider, nonmedical world. Given how useful case reports have been, a legitimate and persuasive argument could be made to retain them in modern medical literature. But there is an emerging problem with case reports. As the ability to publish and disseminate the …
Discriminatory Demands by Patients
Most of us working in health care are concerned—perhaps even appalled—when patients make demands for doctors or nurses or other caregivers that accord with their bigoted sentiments. Even though there may be some reasons to believe that matching certain characteristics of doctors with those of their patients (whether the latter ask for them or not) may produce both more patient satisfaction and even some health benefits, how does one tease apart o…
Who Should Ration
A principal component of physician decision making is judging what interventions are clinically appropriate. Due to the inexorable and steady increase of health care costs in the US, physicians are constantly being urged to exercise judicious financial stewardship with due regard for the financial implications of what they prescribe. When applied on a case-by-case basis, this otherwise reasonable approach can lead to either inadvertent or overt a…
Do Pediatric Patients Have a Right to Know
In Western medicine, a central component of respecting a person's ability to make decisions governing what happens to herself is ensuring that she is provided with sufficient relevant information to make a rational choice. For patients who lack the cognitive capacity to do so because of either inborn or acquired deficits or because of youth, the extent to which they can participate in medical decisions is variable. Minors present a unique challen…
Brain death determination
The concept of brain death (BD), defined as irreversible loss of function of the brain including the brainstem, is accepted in the medical literature and in legislative policy worldwide. However, in most of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) there are no legal guidelines regarding BD. Hypothetical scenarios based on our collective experience are presented which underscore the consequences of the absence of BD policies in resource-limited countries (RLCs). …
Who Pays? Mandated Insurance Coverage for Assisted Reproductive Technology
There is not a convincing case for the United States government to mandate insurance coverage for IVF
In Search of the Mommy Gene
Behavioral genetics has as its goal the discovery of genes that play a significant causal role in complex phenotypes that are socially relevant such a parenting, aggression, psychiatric disorders, intelligence, and even race. In this article, I present the stories of the discoveries of three such important phenotypes: maternal nurturing behavior and the c-fosB gene; intelligence and phenylketonuria (PKU); and pair-bonding and monogamy (vasopressi…
Physician Responsibility for Patients' Quality of Life
Physicians have an obligation to consider a patient's quality of life when making treatment decisions and should consider giving patients the options of withholding or withdrawing aggressive treatment if that treatment will not restore the kind of life the patient finds meaningful. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
How Darwinian reductionism refutes genetic determinism
Can Underpowered Clinical Trials Be Justified
As a physician-investigator, I have participated as an ad hoc reviewer for a number of years in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Oncology Study Section, one of many chartered Initial Review Groups that reviews applications to fund cancer clinical trials and studies of biological materials derived from cooperative group clinical trials. This group is unique because of its charge and the members who comprise its body of reviewers. E…
