Main Factors

The aim of the study was to substantiate the necessity of efficient therapeutic cooperation between the doctor and the patient. The main factors determining such cooperation are considered including odontologicalbehaviour of the physician, the choice of the adequate treatment model, compliance with the principles and rules of medical ethics, deontological requirements regulating the patient/physician relationship. Special attention is given to such issues as the doctor’s authority, patient’s confidence, and professional preparation of the first patient’s visit. The authority of the physician depends on his professional skills and moral qualities, such as sense of duty, humanism, and love for his occupation. The causes behindfailed relationships between the doctor and the patient are considered with special reference to deontological flaws on the part of the physician.

Responding to research indicating unsettling results with regard to the ability of University students to recognize and reflect on questions of morality, this paper aims to discuss these issues and to introduce a promising mode of ethics instruction for overcoming such challenges. The Curricular Ethics Bowl (CEB) is a method of ethics education and assessment for a wide range of students and is a descendent of the Medical Ethics Bowl (MEB) (Merrick et al., “Introducing the Medical Ethics Bowl”). We seek in this article to show the similarities of CEB to MEB and to distinguish this model from the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl (ICEB) sponsored by the Association for Professional and Practical Ethics (Landenson 2001). The CEB institutionalizes this mode of ethics education at the program, rather than at the individual course level, and shows advantages over other ethics curricula.

The One

Despite being a new area of scientific knowledge, Bioethics has developed two main references that alternate temporally: a more global Ethics, as the one defended by Potter, and the Georgetown model, which was limited to the issue of Medical Ethics, revitalizing the practical Ethics. In the last decades, a widening of Bioethics is being followed up and it came to be recognized as a new transdisciplinary discipline that is inseparable from concerns about the environment. The advancements of Genetics and the creation of Epigenetics opened new paths to Bioethics. The interaction between the environment and the structure of DNA became known, but modifications that can be passed on to the offspring without affecting the structure of the DNA were also discovered. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the changes that can hereditarily be passed on to future generations through the interference of the environment, from Rachel Yehuda et al’s recent article: Holocaust exposure induced intergenerational effects on FKBP5 methylation. Yehuda’s study allowed for a glimpse over what unfolds for the future of Bioethics, its new challenges and issues and it also evidenced the fact that health and environment are in constant and inseparable connection.
