An overview is provided of the status of public participation in\nbioethical decision making in Great Britain. Evidence that physicians are no\nlonger being left to resolve ethical dilemmas by themselves is to be found in\nthe activities of pressure groups and in increased television and press\ncoverage of such issues as abortion regulation, a recent government bill\naffecting the confidentiality of medical records, public policy with regard to\nin vitro fertilization and research on "spare" embryos, and the case of an old\nwoman who died after being given an experimental drug without her informed\nconsent. British medicine still seems to be far less concerned with patients'\nrights than is American medicine, and it is increasingly recognized within the\nprofession that inadequate attention has been given to the formal teaching of\nmedical ethics in British medical schools.
