The presence and influence of religion in American bioethics.

From the inception of the relatively short history of American bioethics in the mid-to-late 1960s, the place of religion in this field has been complex and controversial. It has also been a subject of more than casual interest and concern to bioethicists, and to an array of medical and non-medical groups in U.S. society for whom the activities and issues in which bioethics is engaged have ongoing import. The questions and the tensions linked to the status and influence of religion in the sphere of bioethics have ramifications that extend beyond bioethics and biomedicine into matters involving the relationship of religion to the institutional structure of American society--most particularly its political, legal foundations, and realm of public affairs--and to its cultural attributes and tradition. It is within this larger perspective that we will consider the association between American bioethics and religion. Our analysis includes two case studies: (1) how, in the early years of bioethics, a pioneering organization in the field dealt with the "redefinition of death" in its discussions and in a major medical journal publication; and (2) the way in which the most recently appointed federal bioethics commission, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, involved religion in its work on cloning and stem cell research.

Ethics in the practice of psychiatry: update on the results of enforcement of the code.

From 1950 to 1973, 82 charges of unethical conduct were made against APA members; of the 12 (15%) members who were found unethical, six were expelled. From 1972 to 1983, 382 members were charged; 86 (23%) were found unethical and 27 of them were expelled. The charges most often involved patient exploitation and illegal conduct. The proportion of the membership charged in each APA area varied by as much as 3:1; some district branches had many charges (69 was the most), and many had none. With all the limitations, the system of enforcement is valuable, but there is much room for improvement.

The code for nurses: guidelines for ethical practice.

Nurses regularly are faced with ethical situations in their practice. Despite potentially having had as part of their educational programs an ethics course or specific classes addressing ethical issues, many nurses still feel ill-equipped when ethical dilemmas occur. This article discusses the Code for Nurses as a resource that nurses can use for determining the appropriate action(s) when an ethical dilemma arises.
