| Summary: | (Note: This consensus statement appeared in somewhat differing format as an editorial in the Western Journal of Medicine 2001;175 [October 2001]. The full text and list of cosigners is published here for the first time.)Bioethics is the formal discipline concerned with ethical and broader issues arising in the practice of medicine and the other healthcare professions and science as a whole. Bioethicists are concerned not only with the impacts and quandaries faced by individual patients and their caregivers, but the impacts of healthcare on society and the broader natural world. Although bioethicists approach such issues from many different theoretical perspectives, most if not all agree that the healthcare professions and industry should seek to minimize any real or potential health risks associated with providing healthcare. |
