Abstract

The philosophy of medicine is a critique of the concepts and methods of medicine. Ethics Committee often only represent the enculturated views of its members, often only reflect the morals of a society. Who would qualify to be on such a committee and what should be the requirements? This is not at all clear, not even dealt with. Medical ethics counseling is not enough when only dealing with certain bioethics directions like principlism, Kantian deontology, situational ethics, case method, etc. Philosophy of medicine counseling is asked for when dealing in depth with the theory and practice of medicine and bioethics.

Ethics Counseling: Philosophy of Medicine Counseling Instead of Medical Ethics Counseling

The art of morality is the practice of it, not rules laid down. [1]
