The Philosophical Diseases of Medicine and their Cure

Mehr zum Buch

Physicians today grapple with complex ethical dilemmas stemming from advanced medical technologies that challenge traditional practices and moral frameworks. Unlike their predecessors, who operated within a well-defined ethical and philosophical context, modern practitioners face unprecedented interventions such as cloning and genetic manipulation without established guidelines. Additionally, philosophical crises within medicine contribute to the erosion of clear ethical norms, leaving physicians unprepared for the moral implications of their decisions in this evolving landscape.
