The Direction of Medical Ethics The direction bioethics, and
specifically medical ethics, will take in the next few years will
be crucial. It is an emerging specialty that has attempted a great
deal, that has many differing agendas, and that has its own
identity crisis. Is it a subspecialty of clinical medicine? Is it a
medical reform movement? Is it a consumer pro tection movement? Is
it a branch of professional ethics? Is it a ra tionale for legal
decisions and agency regulations? Is it something physicians and
ethical theorists do constructively together? Or is it a morally
concentrated attack on high technology, with the prac titioners of
scientific medicine and the medical ethicists in an adversarial
role? Is it a conservative endeavor, exhibiting a Frankenstein syn
drome in Medical Genetics ("this time, they have gone too far"), or
a Clockwork Orange syndrome in Psychotherapy ("we have met hods to
make you talk-walk-cry-kill")? Or does it suffer the afflic tion of
overdependency on the informal fallacy of the Slippery Slope ("one
step down this hill and we will never be able to stop") that
remains an informal fallacy no matter how frequently it's used? Is
it a restricted endeavor of analytic philosophy: what is the
meaning of "disease," how is "justice" used in the allocation of
medical resources, what constitutes "informed" or "consent?" Is it
applied ethics, leading in clinical practice to some recommenda
tion for therapeutic or preventive action? This incomplete list of
questions indicates just how complex,"
