Hidden in Plain Sight
A recent article by physician Ronald Dworkin, echoing research from the last five years, suggests that physicians find little value in clinical ethics consultations. At the same time, clinical ethicists have worked to create more structures and standards to ground the field's professionalization in health care. Why the disconnect? We suggest three reasons: internal professionalization work is opaque to those outside of the discipline, weak extern…
A Step in the Wrong Direction
How Should Clinicians Respond to International Public Health Emergencies
This case analysis examines obligations health care workers have to support relief efforts when an infectious disease outbreak could impact us all. How clinicians, institutions, and local communities ought to balance increased need for global solidarity in response to global disease outbreaks with concerns of local stakeholders is one specific tension this article investigates. We explore how emphasizing global health solidarity in the face of hi…
Incorporating Spirituality into Health Sciences Education
Qualitative Differences between Two Methods of Ethics Education
Ethics and professionalism standards are essential components of health and welfare training programs, yet data on effective ethics training methods remain elusive. We studied two different delivery methods of ethics education in the Gynecology and Obstetrics rotation of medical school: case-based instructor-facilitated discussion only and case-based discussion following student-led presentations. This paper describes results of the focus group w…
The Organ‐That‐Must‐Not‐Be‐Named
The reference to the vagina as “it” or “down there” is symptomatic of two larger cultural problems: not naming the vagina when speaking about the vagina, and conflating the vagina with the external female genitalia. The euphemisms and obfuscating language have implications both for lay understandings of female bodies and for the practice of health care. Granting and using a name gives both the named and the namer power and legitimacy

The Declaration of Helsinki through a feminist lens
This commentary was submitted to the World Medical Association on behalf of the International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics. Our submission included (1) a description of feminist research ethics, (2) suggestions for specific revisions to the Declaration, and (3) elements found in other international research ethics codes that are important from a feminist perspective. Our goals were to encourage the WMA to craft a declaration that: …
Mammography Quality Standards Act
Mammography is one of the best ways to detect breast cancer early enough that treatment can be expected to lead to good outcomes. And because breast cancer is the leading non-skin cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality in women [1], encouraging regular mammograms is an excellent preventive strategy
Contraception in Research
Smart Men, Beautiful Women
For couples for whom assisted reproduction is the only way to have genetically related offspring, the donation of gametes by others makes available enhanced reproductive options. There has been an increasing demand for such services, as evidenced by the Web site launched by fashion photographer Ron Harris in the fall of 1999. Although the sale of such gametes is not new, this Web site does speak to a different set of priorities and values than ha…
