Medical Ethics: Epikeia and Proportionality

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The coronavirus crisis has brought special attention to medical ethics. Advances in medicine, which give rise to new ethicaldilemmas, also argue for a stronger emphasis on medical ethics. Examples include organ transplantation with the question, e.g.of the criteria for death, euthanasia, preimplantation or prenatal diagnostics, human genetics and the discussion about the“informed consensus”. Multi-disciplinary expertise (philosophy, research, clinical practice, legislation, politics, etc.) is essentialfor an ethical consideration of these topics.
