The 1960S

Ethicists in American medical schools feel increasingly discouraged these days. In the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, society's enthusiasm for teaching about medical ethics flourished as new medical technologies posed new ethical perplexities. Americans eagerly sought ethics advice and looked to medical schools to provide it. As the sites where many of the new technologies were developed and future physicians were trained, medical schools were the logical place for medical ethicists to work and teach. A few schools recognized society's need and instituted explicit medical ethics teaching—allocating funds, hiring ethicists, creating departments, and trumpeting their accomplishments. But most schools responded to the need with indifference or even hostility. They distrusted outside “experts” and feared a zealous reform movement aimed at the character or practices of modern medicine. Yet even those schools were forced to create ethics programs to meet powerful accreditation requirements adopted around 1990. Complying reluctantly, these schools allocated few personnel and minimal budgets. The resulting programs struggled.

Subjective Data

The practice of modern medical ethics is largely acute, episodic, fragmented, problem-focused, and institution-centered. Family medicine, in contrast, is built upon a relationship-based model of care that is accessible, comprehensive, continuous, contextual, community-focused and patient-centered. “Doing ethics” in the day-to-day practice of family medicine is therefore different from doing ethics in many other fields of medicine, emphasizing different strengths and exemplifying different values. For family physicians, medical ethics is more than just problem solving. It requires reconciling ethical concepts with modern medicine and asking the principal medical ethics question—What, all things considered, should happen in this situation?—at every clinical encounter over the course of the patient-doctor relationship. We assert that family medicine ethics is an integral part of family physicians’ day-to-day practice. We frame this approach with a four-step process modified from other ethical decision-making models: (1) Identify situational issues; (2) Identify involved stakeholders; (3) Gather objective and subjective data; and (4) Analyze issues and data to direct action and guide behavior. Next, we review several ethical theories commonly used for step four, highlighting the process of wide reflective equilibrium as a key integrative concept in family medicine. Finally, we suggest how to incorporate family medicine ethics in medical education and invite others to explore its use in teaching and practice.

Philosophy, including moral philosophy, is the distillation of the spirit of an era. As society and science develop, sooner or later a given philosophy will gradually change form so that the resulting metamorphosis will better meet the needs of the society at that time. Traditional Chinese ethical thought is an outcome of the Chinese closed natural economy and ancient low-level science and is suitable for traditional Chinese medicine. Its superstable structure and character, which have evolved over more than 2,000 years, are rooted deeply in the minds of the Chinese people; hence, it is difficult for them to accept new bioethical views and to adapt to the developments of modern medicine and the changes in society. In China, owing to the strongly rooted values of the old tradition, the consequences of modern medicine have produced an alienating phenomenon that deviates from the goals of modern medicine and leads to conflicts between ethics and science, between old medical ethics and new medical ethics.

La riflessione bioetica clinica compare in senso proprio a partire dagli anni ’60, e pur affondando le sue radici nell’etica medica tradizionale, trae particolare impulso dalla nuova fisionomia che la medicina contemporanea assume, nonché da un nuovo setting sociale, religioso e culturale che a partire dalla seconda metà del XX secolo si è andato delineando pressoché in tutti i Paesi occidentali. La rivista Medicina e Morale si è rivelata particolarmente feconda nel preparare il terreno alla nascita della bioetica clinica nel nostro paese, a sostenerne lo sviluppo nelle fasi iniziali della sua attività e nell’offrire spunti ulteriori di crescita verso i quali la disciplina in un prossimo futuro dovrà muovere. Le diverse pubblicazioni sono in parte correlate con l’attività di consulenza di bioetica clinica svolta all’interno del Policlinico Universitario “A. Gemelli” di cui vengono presentati i dati preliminari di quasi vent’anni di consulenze. ---------- Clinical bioethics appears earlier in the ’60s. Although its roots in traditional medical ethics it draws particular boost from new look that takes on modern medicine, as well as a new social setting, religious and cultural in the second half of the Twentieth Century has emerged in almost all Western countries. The journal Medicina e Morale has been particularly fruitful in preparing the ground for the birth of clinical bioethics at our University and our country too, and to support development in the early stages of its activities, offering suggestions for further growth to which the discipline in the next future will have to move. Several publications cited in the article are in part related to the clinical ethics consultation held at our University Hospital “A. Gemelli” and preliminary data of nearly two decades of expertise are presented.

Moral Arguments

The article starts from the observation that lying or rather the absence of truth- ful communication is still a common practice within modern medicine, and that medical ethics lacks moral arguments sufficient to serve as an efficient therapy of this illness. With regard to the problem of paternalistic justifications of emergency lies, I defend the classical definition and position regarding lying of Augustine and Kant, along with an uncommon interpretation of it. Thus, their aim is not to inhumanely condemn every single merciful lie but to make clear that every attempt to justify lies based on beneficence or »Menschenliebe« (Kant) has to be rejected, because it gives rise to a general praxis of untruthful behaviour. In order avoid this consequence, one must be aware of what makes lying as such morally wrong. This has to be clarified by referring to the ethical-existential Sinnhorizont of truth and truthfulness within the entire context of personal human existence.
