In the UK, medical ethics and law are often thought of and taught together, but while 'good medical ethics' is often reflected in law-the need to obtain a patient's adequately informed consent, for example-this is not necessarily the case. Sometimes medical ethics is more demanding than law; at other times, perhaps counterintuitively, the law appears to ask more of doctors than does good medical ethics.
在英国,医学伦理和法律常常被放在一起思考和讲授,然而,虽然“良好的医学伦理”常常在法律中有所体现——比如获得患者充分知情同意的必要性——但情况并非总是如此。有时医学伦理比法律要求更高;而在其他时候,也许有违直觉的是,法律对医生的要求似乎比良好的医学伦理更多。
