FIRST TERM EXAM
Read the text carefully then do the activities
Medical ethics are the principles or standards of human conduct with regard to the field of medicine, medical research, the philosophical analysis and discussion of these principles. Questions about medical ethics were, until the middle of the 20 century, thought to be for the medical profession alone to answer. There might be questions, for example, about whether it could be ever right to breach the strict code of confidentiality that holds between doctor and patient. ......§1
Should a patient's family be told if he or she were suffering from transmissible or heritable disease that the patient intended to conceal from family members? Should a cephalic baby, born without a brain, be quietly allowed to die by the doctor, and the parents told that the baby had died naturally? Could someone with a terminal illness be given drugs that would hasten an otherwise painful death? Such problems still arise and in an acute form. It is still true, too, that if a doctor in the United Kingdom behaves in a professionally disgraceful way, he or she can be struck off from the register and barred from practice by other doctors. They make up the General Council and are responsible for the honour and trustworthiness of the profession. .........§2
Recently, the medical profession can no longer rely on its own conscience, for the questions they are faced with are no longer concerned with the relationship between individual doctors and their individual patients. The general public is better educated and has the power to take a share in ethical and public policy decision making. ...........§3
