A proposed state administrative rule would have required medical ethicists to approve certain aspects of gender-affirming care. The authors argue the proposed rule lacked appropriate justification compared to other instances of state-mandated ethics oversight and would undermine trust, raise practical challenges, and send harmful messages to society, patients, and providers.
一项拟议的州行政规定本会要求医学伦理学家批准性别确认护理的某些方面。作者们认为，与州强制规定的伦理监督的其他情况相比，该拟议规定缺乏适当的正当理由，会破坏信任、引发实际挑战，并向社会、患者和医疗服务提供者传递有害信息。
