Healthy skepticism: the emperor has very few clothes

K W Wildes. J Med Philos. 1997 Aug.

Abstract

The role of an expert witness in ethics, as part of a legal proceeding, is examined in this essay. The essay argues that the use of such expertise rests on confusions about normative and non-normative ethics compounded by misunderstandings about the challenges of moral argument in secular, morally pluralistic societies.
