  • Engaging Pediatric Health Professionals in Interactive Online Ethics Education

    Open AccessDiane M Plantz, Jeremy R Garrett et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2014

    Bioethical decision‐making in pediatrics diverges from similar decisions in other medical domains because the young child is not an autonomous decision‐maker, while the teen is developing—and should be encouraged to develop—autonomy and decisional capacity.

  • The Physician as a Health Care Proxy

    Arti Rai, Mark Siegler et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1999

    Many states prohibit patients from appointing their physicians as health care proxies, fearing paternalism and conflict of interest. But the potential for conflict is not unique to physicians, and patients may have compelling reasons to prefer that their doctor make decisions on their behalf. Managing potential conflicts serves patients better than denying them the right to choose who will make health care decisions for them when they are no long…

Thus in building consensus on a moral problem, an ethicist is not just negotiating a compromise but is contributing to the construction of moral rules and principles that have a genuine claim on us. In this way, not only does expertise on a variety of moral positions facilitate mediation, but mediation opens the way to a…
