Is Medical Ethics Really in the Best Interest of the Patient? Description
Medical ethics is practised by doctors and nurses on an everyday
basis. It is also a rapidly expanding academic discipline and ethical
review boards for medical research play a key role in the life
sciences. The primary concern is, or at least should be, the best
interest of current and future patients. But is this really so?
This
multi-disciplinary international conference will raise questions about
some of the key ethical issues of concern regarding medical research.
The possibility to increase knowledge about diagnosis, prevention and
treatment of disease is the primary motive of medical research. Ethics
is there in order to protect patients and promote their interests. But
is medical ethics instrumental to this end?Location
