Abstract

It is common to think of medical and ethical modes of thought as different in kind. In such terms, some clinical situations are made more complicated by an additional ethical component. Against this picture, we propose that medical and ethical modes of thought are not different in kind, but merely different aspects of what it means to be human. We further propose that clinicians are uniquely positioned to synthesise these two aspects without prior knowledge of philosophical ethics.

摘要

通常认为医学思维模式和伦理思维模式在本质上是不同的。照此观点，某些临床情况会因额外的伦理因素而变得更加复杂。与这种看法相反，我们认为医学思维模式和伦理思维模式在本质上并非不同，而仅仅是人类存在意义的不同方面。我们还认为，临床医生具有独特的地位，能够在无需事先了解哲学伦理学的情况下将这两个方面结合起来。
