Ethical decision making for community health nurses.

Modern health-care technology has complicated the ethical considerations of not only diagnosis and treatment, but also the social implications of diseases. Nurses are facing daily challenges as they struggle to protect and support confidentiality, justice, and beneficience for their clients. Community health nurses (CHNs), in light of their manner of primary care delivery, are often involved in these challenges. CHNs, due to their manner of primary care delivery, may find themselves in situations very different from those of other health-care workers. Often these situations have a moral component that cannot be addressed by the traditional problem-solving methods. Knowledge of ethical theories that offer frameworks for problem solving is essential as these CHNs struggle with ethical dilemmas.

Commissions and biomedical ethics: the Canadian experience.

Canadians frequently have recourse to public commissions as a means of dealing with contentious public policy issues. This essay examines the role of philosophers and philosophy in nine such commissions, all of which have dealt with issues in biomedical ethics. The principal findings of this essay are that philosophers have not been used extensively by these commissions, and that the philosophical aspects of the issues under investigation have been dealth with quite inadequately. The essay concludes with suggestions for an expanded role for philosophers in such commissions.

Committees and commissions in the United Kingdom.

In the United Kingdom there have been few committees or commissions dealing specifically with biomedical ethics, and where such bodies have been set up they have merely reported on a specific topic and then disbanded. However, there may well be standing committees in the future, of which the Voluntary Licensing Authority for Human In Vitro Fertilisation and Embryology is a precursor. This paper surveys the work of three special committees or working groups which have reported in the period 1970 to the present. Of these the Warnock Committee is by far the most important, and the issues which it raises are discussed with specific reference to the place of philosophers and theologians on such bodies. It is concluded that, although there has been some movement in the UK toward the utilization of those with special skills and knowledge in the field of bioethics, much more could be done in this regard.
