Towards (more) evidence-based ethics guidelines
By structuring the dispersed discourses on the topic, the REIGN framework allows ethics guideline developers to think more coherently through the questions of whether, for what area and in what manner evidence should be sought
Transformative medical ethics
We propose a step‐by‐step methodological framework of translational bioethics that aims at changing medical practice according to normative–ethical requirements, which we will thus call “transformative medical ethics.” The framework becomes especially important when there is a gap between widely acknowledged, ethically justified normative claims and their realization in the practice of biomedicine and technology (ought–is gap). Building on prior …
From book to bedside? A critical perspective on the debate about “translational bioethics”
The concept of “translational bioethics” has received considerable attention in recent years. Most publications draw an analogy to translational medicine and describe bioethical research that aims at implementing and evaluating ethical interventions. However, current accounts of translational bioethics are often rather vague and seem to differ with regard to conceptual and methodological assumptions. It is not clear and scarcely analyzed what exa…
How to derive ethically appropriate recommendations for action? A methodology for applied ethics
Researchers in applied ethics, and some areas of bioethics particularly, aim to develop concrete and appropriate recommendations for action in morally relevant real-world situations. When proceeding from more abstract levels of ethical reasoning to such concrete recommendations, however, even with regard to the very same normative principle or norm, it seems possible to develop divergent or even contradictory recommendations for action regarding …
Values, decision-making and empirical bioethics
It can be assumed that value judgements, which are needed to judge what is ‘good’ or ‘better’ and what is ‘bad’ or ‘worse’, are involved in every decision-making process. The theoretical understanding and analysis of value judgements is, therefore, important in the context of bioethics, for example, to be able to ethically assess real decision-making processes in biomedical practice and make recommendations for improvements. However, real decisio…
States of Uncertainty, Risk–Benefit Assessment and Early Clinical Research
It can be argued that there is an ethical requirement to classify correctly what is known and what is unknown in decision situations, especially in the context of biomedicine when risks and benefits have to be assessed. This is because other methods for assessing potential harms and benefits, decision logics and/or ethical principles may apply depending on the kind or degree of uncertainty. However, it is necessary to identify and describe the va…
Humanisme médical et médecine complémentaire, alternative et intégrative
L'avènement de la biomédecine moderne est souvent considéré comme une avancée majeure. Cependant, l' humanisme médical remet en question l'idée que la biomédecine actuelle et son système de santé soient (encore) suffisamment tournés vers des valeurs humanistes telles que la dignité, l'autonomie, l'individualité, l'empathie ou l'humilité. À côté de la biomédecine, il existe cependant de nombreuses approches relevant de la médecine non conventionne…
