The Ethics of Killing in War

This paper argues that certain central tenets of the traditional theory of the just war cannot be correct. It then advances an alternative account grounded in the same considerations of justice that govern self-defense at the individual level. The implications of this account are unorthodox. It implies that, with few exceptions, combatants who fight for an unjust cause act impermissibly when they attack enemy combatants, and that combatants who fight in a just war may, in certain circumstances, legitimately target noncombatants who bear a significant degree of moral responsibility for a wrong, when the prevention or rectification of that wrong constitutes a just cause for war.

医师专业精神与医学伦理学

医学伦理学与医师专业精神的历史发展轨迹都本源于医学,基础都是医学。二者不是同时出现的。在很长时期内,医学伦理学是以医师的个人品德的面貌面世的,医学的宗旨和使命,是通过医师的执业动机与态度表现的,两者的使命和主旨内涵是同一的。但医学伦理学不能等同于医师专业精神,作为谋生手段的职业性能和发展医学的历史使命同时也蕴藏于医师专业精神中。两者的差异处理不当可能造成医学伦理学与医师专业精神的矛盾和纠葛。医学伦理学旨在“言”,医师专业精神旨在“行”,医学伦理学有赖于忠于医学职业操守的医生的实践。“言”与“行”的统一,好医学目标的实现,是两者的理想归宿。

     

当代中国医德建设与相对主义医学伦理学

当代西方相对主义医学伦理学有许多建树,但也有其致命性的缺陷,这就是否定医学道德的客观绝对性和普遍性医学伦理准则。在引进、介绍了这种学说之后,需要下功夫同它进行对话,即以医德绝对性与相对性辩证统一的原理,对这种学说进行追问,从中借鉴有益的经验和教训,以顺利全面地推进我国当代的医学道德建设。     

中国古代医德教育对现代医学生医德教育的启示

医德医风已成为全社会普遍关注的焦点,特殊职业要求医务工作者应具有高尚的医德,而高尚医德的培养应从医学生教育阶段开始,努力提高医学生的医德素养。我国传统的医德教育方法,如医学生人品的选拔,老师言传身教,徒弟满师传统等等对于培养现代医学生关爱病人、救死扶伤的医德风范仍具有积极的借鉴意义。

Ethics,Brain Injuries,and Sports: Prohibition,Reform, and Prudence

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the issue of the elimination of sports, or elements of sports, that present a high risk of brain injury. In particular, we critically examine two elements of Angelo Corlett’s and Pam Sailors’ arguments for the prohibition of football and Nicholas Dixon’s claim for the reformation of boxing to eliminate blows to the head based on (a) the empirical assumption of an essential or causal connection between brain injuries incurred in football and the development of a degenerative brain disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE); and (b) John Stuart Mill’s rejection of consensual domination (ie voluntary enslavement). We present four arguments to contest the validity of Corlett, Dixon’s and Sailor’s positions. Specifically, we argue that (i) certain autonomy-based arguments undermine paternalist arguments for reform; (ii) the nature of the goods people pursue in their lives might justify their foregoing (degrees of) future autonomy; (iii) Mill’s argument against consensual domination draws on ambiguous and arbitrary distinctions; (iv) the lack of consensus and empirical evidence regarding CTE arising from brain injuries in sport underdetermines calls for reform. We conclude that these proposals for reforming or eliminating sports with high risks of brain injuries are not well founded.     

刍议医德迷失与重塑

在我国的医疗行政界、医务界、医学教育界以及临床医者中出现了医德迷失现象.社会发展模式,道德激励游戏化,败德激励机制的精细化,个人生存压力,专业知识垄断等原因共同导致医德迷失.医德境界的提升应从教育做起,完善政策引导机制、社会监督评价机制,做好医务人员的岗前培训,提倡医者的自我修养.     

Paradigms and Personhood: A Deepening of the Dilemmas in Ethics and Medical Ethics

There are many calls for a definitions personhood, but also many logical and Wittgensteinian reasons to think fulfilling this is unimportant or impossible. I argue that we can consider many contexts as language-games and consider the person as the key player in each. We can then examine the attributes, presuppositions and implications of personhood in those contexts. I use law and therapeutic psychology as two examples of such contexts or language-games. Each correlates with one of the classic “theories” of ethics-deontology and consequentialism. But each is a large enough cluster to consider them as paradigms in a sense related to Thomas Kuhn's notion in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Showing the presuppositions about and “takes” on personhood together with the connections involved in the paradigms deepens the dilemmas we already know to be present. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

论医学伦理学的自主性原则

医学伦理学的自主性原则是对个人的自主和自由的尊重,其核心是对人权的尊重,包含有知情同意、保密、隐私等具体规则.自主性原则是根源于西方强调个性自由和选择的自由主义道德传统,我国古代哲人也提出过相近乃至相同的看法.

美容医学伦理宣言

美容医学是维护健康美与生命美的崇高事业,是医疗保健事业的重要组成部分.     

案例教学与医学伦理学教育

案例教学已经成为普遍的方法在我国各医学院校的医学伦理学教学中广泛使用,案例教学作为一种方法,如何客观地看待它,需结合医学伦理学教育的目的和内容。案例教学具有增加互动、加深理解和提高分析能力等优点,但如果驾驭不好,也会暴露一些弱点,而起到反作用。试图还案例教学法于医学伦理学教育的本来位置。     

我国医学伦理学教材关于医学伦理学基本原则的评述

在一些<医学伦理学>教材中,对医学道德的基本原则表述不规范,对两套医学道德的基本原则要么在概念上认知模糊,要么在内容上表达不准确.而且对两套医学道德基本原则之间的内在关系难以辩证统一.导致医学生在学习的过程中对其概念认知混乱,找不到自己医疗行为的准确定位.通过对医学道德基本原则的论证,对医学道德基本原则概念认知达成共识.     

卫生保健政策与医学伦理学

卫生保健政策是卫生资源、价值目标和伦理原则三者的结合。医学伦理学是卫生政策的重要基础。当代卫生事业的特点,卫生保健服务面临的挑战以及医学伦理主体与客体的变化,决定了医学伦理学在当代卫生保健政策中的特殊意义。在医学面临全民保健的阶段,一个科学的符合人民健康利益的卫生保健政策是不言而喻的。摆脱当前卫生政策面临的困难,要求必须在医学伦理学方面作出正确的选择。
