International cooperation is an integral part of furthering medical and scientific progress. Many specilist societies exist for that purpose and have written into their constitutions that such cooperation and coordination is their aim. They hope to achieve their aims by exchange, in all languages, of information and by so doing strengthen the relations between individual physicians and scentists as well as between corporate professional bodies from different countries. However, at the same time emphasis is laid on the political neutrality of such organsations. Increasingly, this 'neutrality' is being questioned as doctors and scientists become aware of abuse and distortion of their profession taking place in other countries. H Merskey highlights the problems and offers his opinion on the ethics of maintaining these professional relationships with colleagues abroad who are involved in such abuse and distortion.
国际合作是推动医学和科学进步不可或缺的一部分。许多专业协会为此目的而存在，并已将这种合作与协调写入其章程作为目标。他们希望通过以各种语言交流信息来实现目标，从而加强个体医生和科学家之间以及来自不同国家的专业团体之间的关系。然而，与此同时，这些组织强调政治中立性。随着医生和科学家意识到其他国家存在对其职业的滥用和歪曲，这种“中立性”越来越受到质疑。H·默斯基强调了这些问题，并就与涉及此类滥用和歪曲行为的国外同事维持这些职业关系的伦理问题发表了自己的看法。
