Comparative medical ethics: an introduction

R M Veatch. J Med Philos. 1988 Aug.

Abstract

KIE: Alternatives to the Hippocratic tradition for the resolution of problems in medical ethics include the major Western religious systems, Western secular philosophy, and non-Western systems of religion and theory. Five essays in this issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy are introduced and summarized to emphasize the real differences in medical ethical theories and the challenge presented by a comparative study of their competing claims.
