Human Subjects Research for Biochemical Antidotes
London AJ. Threats to the common good: biochemical weapons and human subjects research. Hastings Cent Rep. 2003;33(5):17-25. With the specter of biochemical warfare upon us—if not from credible threats then certainly from the popular press and imagination—the debate has begun on the ethics of human subjects research to create effective antidotes and countermeasures
The Pediatrician's Role in Family Decision Making
The bounds of the patient-physician relationship are difficult to define in pediatrics because of the necessary involvement of the child's surrogate decision maker usually, the parent. The triadic relationship, patient-parent-physician, adds complexity because it often means considering both the child's best interests and what his or her parents see as the family's best interests. The literature has raised questions about the appropriate role of …
Grutter v Bollinger
This article gives a brief overview of two legal cases where students were denied admission to the University of Michigan. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
Smallpox Vaccination
Last year's dramatic season finale of ER brought smallpox into the living rooms of many Americans, highlighting the role of emergency physicians as first responders in the event of a bioterrorist attack
To the Betterment of Public Health
Physicians' ethical obligation to the health of the public is clearly laid out in the Principles of Medical Ethics. Principle VII states: "a physician shall recognize a responsibility to participate in activities contributing to the improvement of the community and the betterment of public health
HIV Policy
When AIDS was first diagnosed in this country the diagnosis was a death sentence. For women, the diagnosis came with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) to avoid spreading HIV to an unborn child by not getting pregnant.1
The Non-Entitlement Principle
The thousands of people who immigrate to the United States every year in search of opportunity face the hardships of navigating in a foreign culture and establishing a new life. It is the children of these immigrants who often reap the rewards, integrating themselves more readily, and benefiting from the American education system. For Garth Graham, MD, recipient of an AMA Foundation 2002 Leadership Award, the work ethic his parents instilled in h…
Cost-Effective Prescribing
We live in lean times. Coupon cutting and frugal living may pare down spending in many parts of the budget, but it's hard to get discount health care. When you get an ear infection you can't call around to the local medical practices for a price comparison. You cannot be a 30-day trial patient or get a free sample visit. So how can you, as a patient, be sure that you are getting the most for your money when it comes to health care? And how can ph…
Who's Really Hurting
Women have been labeled the fairer sex, the weaker sex, the emotionally driven and irrational sex. Over the past century successive waves of women's rights movements have tempered these stereotypes, offering women more freedoms and opportunities. But in many ways Western society has become so conscious of being politically correct and asexual in preference that we run the risk of failing to recognize the important differences in the sexes
Old Tactics, New Threat
Bioterrorism is not some new, inventive way of attacking the enemy nor is it a 21st century form of warfare. It is in fact a historically documented, primitive form of attack dating back as far as the sixth century BCE when the Assyrians poisoned their enemies by contaminating wells with rye ergot, a fungus blight which causes delusions, cardiovascular problems, and death.1,2
A Better Perspective
Dr. Alan Heins, a resident physician in the University of Maryland Emergency Medicine Residency Program, is president of the House Staff Association of the University of Maryland Medical System. He was recognized as one of the 2002 AMA Foundation Leadership Awardees primarily for his role in founding the Community Action to Check Hypertension (CATCH) Health Fairs during his first year in medical school
Living Dangerously by Choice
Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), has handed down an ominous warning: "the world is living dangerously, either because it has little choice or because it is making the wrong choices about consumption and activity."1 With this warning came a list of the top 10 threats to health worldwide and a plea for decisive governmental action. The top 10 threats to health are
Forced to Play Russian Roulette with Their Health
There are about 40 million people in the United States without health insurance. I believe it. All I have to do is glance around a table of my peers to find the faces to match with the statistics of the uninsured. Many of them are like me: college educated, in their early 20s and working. They are not numbers to me; they are friends and college roommates, my cousin and my neighbor
