商品描述

The Element examines ethical and conceptual issues about conscientious objection in medicine. Concepts analyzed include conscientious objection, conscientious provision, conscience, moral complicity, and moral integrity. Several ongoing ethical controversies are identified and critically analyzed. One is a disagreement about whether conscientious objection is compatible with physicians' professional obligations. The Element argues that incompatibilists fail to offer a justifiable specification of professional obligations that supports their position. The Element also argues that a challenge for compatibilists who support a reason-giving requirement is to specify justifiable and unambiguous criteria for reviewing objectors' reasons. Arguments for and against requirements to inform and refer patients are critically analyzed, and an alternative, context-dependent requirement is offered. Another subject of controversy is about the justifiability of asymmetry between responses to conscientious objectors and conscientious providers. Typically, only the former receive accommodation. The Element critically examines arguments for asymmetry and maintains that none provides a convincing justification.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《The Element》探討醫學中有關良心抗拒的倫理和概念問題。分析的概念包括良心抗拒、良心提供、良心、道德共犯和道德完整性。書中辨析了幾個持續存在的倫理爭議。其中一個爭議是關於良心抗拒是否與醫生的專業義務相容的分歧。《The Element》認為,不相容論者未能提供一個能支持他們立場的合理專業義務規範。《The Element》還認為,支持給予理由要求的相容論者面臨的挑戰是要明確且合理地規定審查抗拒者理由的標準。對於要求告知和轉介患者的論點進行了批判性分析,並提出了一個依情境而定的替代要求。另一個爭議的主題是關於對待良心抗拒者和良心提供者之間不對稱的合理性。通常只有前者獲得安排。《The Element》對不對稱的論點進行了批判性分析,並主張沒有一個令人信服的理由能提供充分的證明。
