Lifetime and world-time in accelerated medicine. An essay on the consolation of synchronisation
The essay examines how prominent scientists, politicians, and managers respond to the condition of human existence that a human being is only a short time in the long time of the world. In connection with the accelerated medicine and its predicted progress, they segment the future and imagine themselves at a new stage of humanity. They strive for a. privileged relationship to the world by claiming to conclude humanity’s prehistory in the foreseea…
Prevention and Irony
Prevention can make a significant contribution to a longer and healthier life. However, individual behavioural prevention has an influence on lifestyle with regard to how one deals with time. After all, prevention is always about making decisions in the present to change anticipated conditions in the future in a beneficial way. It is associated with challenges and an increase in responsibility. Its results are uncertain. The essay asks how one ca…
Kairos in diagnostics
Kairos has been a key concept in medicine for millennia and is frequently understood as “the right time” in relation to treatment. In this study we scrutinize kairos in the context of diagnostics. This has become highly topical as technological developments have caused diagnostics to be performed ever earlier in the disease development. Detecting risk factors, precursors, and predictors of disease (in biomarkers, pre-disease, and pre-pre-disease)…
The revised International Code of Medical Ethics
The World Medical Association (WMA), the global representation of the medical profession, first adopted the International Code of Medical Ethics (ICoME) in 1949 to outline the professional duties of physicians to patients, other physicians and health professionals, themselves and society as a whole. The ICoME recently underwent a major 4-year revision process, culminating in its unanimous adoption by the WMA General Assembly in October 2022 in Be…

The Declaration of Helsinki in bioethics literature since the last revision in 2013
The World Medical Association has announced that a new revision process of the Declaration of Helsinki has been started. This article will identify the criticisms that have been made in the bioethics literature, particularly since the last revision. In addition, criticisms are discussed that were made in the literature even before the last revision and have not fallen silent. The plausibility of the recommendation for a change in the Declaration …
Climate change and the different roles of physicians
The article critically responds to "A Planetary Health Pledge for Health Professionals in the Anthropocene" which was published by Wabnitz et al. in The Lancet in November 2020. It focuses on the different roles and responsibilities of a physician. The pledge is criticised because it neglects the different roles, gives no answers in case of conflicting goals, and contains numerous inconsistencies. The relationship between the Planetary Health Ple…
The Judgment of the German Federal Constitutional Court regarding assisted suicide
The article presents the judgment of the German Federal Constitutional Court from 26 February 2020 on assisted suicide. The statements regarding human dignity, human rights and the relationship between citizens and the state are examined. Furthermore, the consequences resulting from this interpretation of human dignity for states that are pluralistic and based on human rights will be laid out. The court’s judgment limits the power of parliaments …
Saving the most lives—A comparison of European triage guidelines in the context of the Covid‐19 pandemic
In March 2020, the rapid increase in severe COVID‐19 cases overwhelmed the healthcare systems in several European countries. The capacities for artificial ventilation in intensive care units were too scarce to care for patients with acute respiratory disorder connected to the disease. Several professional associations published COVID‐19 triage recommendations in an extremely short time: in 21 days between March 6 and March 27. In this article, we…
