Although space limitations do not permit including all the responses received after the passing of David Thomasma, some representative expressions are included below. As these remembrances attest, Edmund Pellegrino spoke for all of us when he said at David's memorial service, “It has been said that we die only when forgotten; if so, David will live a long time. He remains a presence for his family, friends, collaborators, and all who met him.”

De Medicina

On the 4th of July 2014, a Sattelite Symposium on Bioethics was held during The First Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony of The European Society For Person Centered Healthcare, including a simple act of homage to Dr. Edmund Pellegrino. The necessity for training in medical ethics and bioethics is increasingly well acknowledged by both medical practitioners, medical students and indeed patients. This observation led to the Spanish CEEM (Consejo Estatal de Estudiantes de Medicina, España), in co-operation with The National Conference of Deans of Faculties of Medicine of Spain (Conferencia Nacional de Decanos de las Facultades de Medicina, España) and the OMC (Organización Médica Colegial) to create a guide entitled “Ethical Recommendations for Clinical Practice.”

President's Council On Bioethics

In Evangelium vitae, Pope St. John Paul II addresses euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide by striking a balance—maintaining the inherent dignity of all persons while considering the lived experience of those struggling to see dignity amidst suffering. Subsequently, a debate about the word dignity has led to clarifications from the President’s Council on Bioethics (under President George W. Bush) regarding different uses of the word. This essay relies on the work of the council, especially an essay by Edmund Pellegrino, to provide a basis for reflecting on John Paul II’s approach to dignity in Evangelium vitae in terms of concept and lived experience. To further develop these insights, an alternative framework is proposed for thinking about dignity in the practical setting.

Apesar da crescente ênfase dada à autonomia no processo de tomada de decisões, a mera decisão autônoma nem sempre reflete o bem do paciente. Este artigo sustentará, a partir da filosofia da medicina de Edmund Pellegrino, que o bem do paciente é composto por quatro elementos, um delimitando o outro, com vistas a assegurar maior equilíbrio entre o bem como avaliado pelo médico e o bem como compreendido pelo paciente. A abordagem teleológica da medicina, ou seja, uma abordagem baseada no telos (fim) da medicina, delineia até que ponto as decisões do paciente são condizentes com o seu bem. Segue-se que os pedidos de pacientes por procedimentos como o suicídio assistido não estão acordes com esse fim, e que caberia aos profissionais de saúde fornecer alternativas para prevenir e aliviar o sofrimento dos pacientes, no que se in-sere a temática dos cuidados paliativos.
