Common Morality Principles in Biomedical Ethics
After briefly sketching common-morality principlism, as presented in Principles of Biomedical Ethics , this paper responds to two recent sets of challenges to this framework. The first challenge claims that medical ethics is autonomous and unique and thus not a form of, or justified or guided by, a common morality or by any external morality or moral theory. The second challenge denies that there is a common morality and insists that futile effor…

The Oxford Handbook of Animal Ethics
An Ethics Framework for a Learning Health Care System
Calls are increasing for American health care to be organized as a learning health care system, defined by the Institute of Medicine as a health care system “in which knowledge generation is so embedded into the core of the practice of medicine that it is a natural outgrowth and product of the healthcare delivery process and leads to continual improvement in care.” We applaud this conception, and in this paper, we put forward a new ethics framewo…
The Research‐Treatment Distinction
The rise of quality improvement research and comparative effectiveness research in health care settings constitutes progress toward the goal of what the Institute of Medicine has called a “learning healthcare system,” in which we are “drawing research closer to clinical practice by building knowledge development and application into each stage of the healthcare delivery process.” As clinical research and clinical practice move closer to a deliber…

The Oxford handbook of business ethics
This handbook is a comprehensive treatment of business ethics from a philosophical approach. Each chapter is written by an accomplished philosopher who surveys a major ethical issue in business, offers his or her own contribution to the issues that define that topic, and provides a bibliography which identifies key words.
Challenges in Measuring a New Construct
RELIABLE AND VALID MEASURES OF RELEVANT constructs are critical in the developing field of the empirical study of research ethics. The early phases of scale development for such constructs can be complex. We describe the methodological challenges of construct definition and operationalization and how we addressed them in our study to develop a measure of perception of voluntariness. We also briefly present our conceptual approach to the construct…

Who Deserves Autonomy, and Whose Autonomy Deserves Respect?
"Autonomy," "respect for autonomy," and "rights of autonomy" are different notions. "Respect for autonomy" and "rights of autonomy" are moral notions, but "autonomy" and "autonomous person" are not obviously moral notions. Indeed, they seem more metaphysical than moral. However, this distinction between the metaphysical and the moral has Fostered precarious claims such as these: (1) Analysis of autonomy is a conceptual, metaphysical project, not …

A Merciful End
This book contains many engaging stories about the "euthanasia movement" in the United States. Ian Dowbiggin is at his best in the early chapters (1-4), which chart the course of the movement to the mid-1970s. The Euthanasia Society of America (ESA) is the focus of attention. In the final two chapters (5-6) the author turns to the post-1975 period, without highlighting a particular group or issue

Hume on Causal Contiguity and Causal Succession
Hume notoriously maintains that contiguity, succession, and constant conjunction are individually necessary and jointly sufficient conditions of causation. While his arguments for the necessity of constant conjunction have been thoroughly dissected, his arguments for contiguity and succession have generally been either ignored or misstated. I hope both to correct this unfortunate state of affairs and to show some fatal defects in Hume's account.T…

When Ethical Paths Converge
Commenting on burgeoning literature in medical and biological ethics, Albert Jonsen, bioethicist at University of California Medical Center (San Francisco), noted that the ethics of medicine is now in need not of more anthologies but of a comprehensive treatise revealing how ethical theory can be cogently applied to sorts of decisions encountered in medical practice. In their volume Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Tom Beauchamp and James Childre…

Business Ethics
Even casual awareness of that fragment of recent intellectual history related to corporate behavior should dispel the belief that scholarly interest in business ethics represents a kneejerk reaction to the Gulf, Lockheed, and similar fiascoes. Such interest has been simmering for a long time. Nearly twenty years have elapsed since William Ruder, Assistant Secretary of Commerce in the Kennedy Administration, completed a government-sponsored survey…

Ethics and Experts
Cheryl Noble discusses the emergence of applied ethics as a subdiscipline and expresses skepticism about the role of the philosopher as a technical "expert" on social problems. Peter Singer applauds the renewed interest of philosophers in social issues and points out the special advantages they may contribute to discussions of such issues. Jerry Avorn, a physician, sees a useful role for ethicists as teachers and resources for medical practitione…

Practice versus Theory
In this review essay, Jonsen is concerned with the relationship between theory and practice in bioethics, a concern he finds reflected in three recent books: the third edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics, by T. Beauchamp and J. Childress (Oxford University Press; 1989); Moral Theory and Moral Judgments in Medical Ethics, edited by B. Brody (Kluwer Academic; 1988); and Theory and Practice in Medical Ethics, by G.C. Graber and D.C. Thomasma …

Reversing the Protections
The distinction between the public and the private in this symposium is, I will assume, continuous with both the communitarian-autonomy and responsibilities-rights distinctions in other symposia. I will also assume that issues about what should remain private are linked to issues of privacy and autonomy and that issues about what should remain public are linked to issues about the common good and community control. The moral and political theorie…
