Journal Article
Moral and legal uncertainty within medicine: the role of clinical ethics committees
2009
Overview
Some argue, for example, that ethical judgements within medicine should primarily serve the public interest by maximising the common good rather than the rights and associated claims of individual patients. [...]the patient who demands what will probably be futile cardiopulmonary resuscitation will be seen as wasting scarce medical resources which can serve the interests of others who need them more. Rules of discussion and debate are designed to ensure that relevant expertise and evidence are heard, that the process is democratic, that corrupting vested interests are removed, and that bullying based on professional seniority and power is banned-all principles of good procedural ethics.\\n While many hospitals do now have such committees, it is clear that they are not as integrated into hospital life as well as they might be. 4 In this issue (see page 451 ), Whitehead et al 5 describe some interesting research suggesting that very few clinical dilemmas are actually sent to CECs.
