Isi artikel

This non-thematic issue of The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy gathers together five essays that, while quite distinct in their topics and arguments, also resonate to two common themes. The first three essays analyze concepts that operate within the borders of policy ethics and clinical bioethics. At the macro-level, Robert Veatch considers the question of directed donation of organs – when motivated by obviously discriminatory reasons held by the prospective donor – as a practical case to compare the applicability of the “maximin” standard developed by Rawls with a pure egalitarian standard. Veatch also figures centrally as the object of the second essay’s critical rejoinder. In response to Veatch’s 1995 proposal that “informed consent” has outlived its usefulness as a concept relevant to the context of clinical medicine (Veatch, 1995), Becky Cox White and Joel Zimbelman defend that standard with a series of spirited rejoinders to Veatch’s central contentions. In the third essay, William Harper responds critically to the standard of medical futility recently set forth by Lawrence Schneiderman and Nancy Jecker (Schneiderman and Jecker, 1995) for what he deems its vicious circularity and its failure to acknowledge, much less to justify, the intuitions at work in its formulation.
