Disease relevance of Ethicists

 

Psychiatry related information on Ethicists

 

High impact information on Ethicists

  • Bioethicists' statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's Cruzan decision [3].
  • Stem cell scientists and ethicists have focused intently on questions relevant to the developmental stage and developmental capacities of stem cells [4].
  • An international Task Force of clinicians, statisticians, ethicists and regulators was convened to discuss these issues and develop consensus [5].
  • To examine ethical and policy issues involved in the testing of pesticides in humans and the use of human data in standard setting, in February 2002 the Center for Children's Health and the Environment of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine convened an expert workshop for ethicists, physicians, toxicologists, and policy analysts [6].
  • Of the people interviewed (three EISOR enthusiasts, a medical ethicist, a Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic theologian), most agreed that premortem administration of systemic heparin was acceptable [7].
 

Associations of Ethicists with chemical compounds

  • The abused altruist. Letter to an ethicist [8].
  • A report sent by the Vatican to bishops' conferences throughout the world calls RU-486, the so-called abortion pill currently available in France, "a new, serious threat to human life." The report was developed at the Vatican's request by Gonzalo Herranz, a Spanish bioethicist [9].
 

Gene context of Ethicists

  • Unfortunately, even extended publications discussing clinical management of ALS have failed to address the subject of discontinuing ventilatory support, and ethicists have not always been helpful [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ethicists

  • It is only relatively recently that we have begun to examine ethical issues as they relate specifically to the speciality of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Prior to this, most ethicists were more concerned with acute care medical issues involving life and death decisions [11].
