The role of ethical principles in health care and the implications for ethical codes.

A common ethical code for everybody involved in health care is desirable, but there are important limitations to the role such a code could play. In order to understand these limitations the approach to ethics using principles and their application to medicine is discussed, and in particular the implications of their being prima facie. The expectation of what an ethical code can do changes depending on how ethical properties in general are understood. The difficulties encountered when ethical values are applied reactively to an objective world can be avoided by seeing them as a more integral part of our understanding of the world. It is concluded that an ethical code can establish important values and describe a common ethical context for health care but is of limited use in solving new and complex ethical problems.

An ethical code for AOD faculty: a proposed set of guidelines.

Ethical codes of conduct are accepted requirements for membership in state and national organizations that grant credentials to those who are employed as alcohol and other drug (AOD) counselors, prevention specialists, and clinical supervisors. It seems appropriate to explore the possibility of an ethical code directly linked to addiction faculty which will outline their unique educational responsibilities and standards. The authors suggest development and adoption of such an ethical code for college-level addiction studies faculty and this proposal is offered as a move toward that possibility.

"Refusal to treat under six conditions", the earliest medical and ethical code in ancient China.

In the paper the principle of physician's "Refusal to treat under six cases" was reviewed. It was the first ethical code for physician in ancient China. The emergence of ethical code for physician was the result of medical professionalism and the formation of the professional groups. The principle proposed by the famous physician Bian-Que in ancient China, like Hippocratic Oath, was an ethics of outer achievement rather than one of inner intention. It provided a framework of medical behavior, and emerges as a powerful tool seeking to safeguard the reputation of the profession for its own sake rather than, in main, seeking to promote the patients' good.

Ethical codes for attorneys: a brief introduction.

Ethical standards for lawyers are contained in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (which lays out both "shall/shall not" rules and "may" suggestions in nine broad areas) and the Model Code of Professional Responsibility (which covers essentially the same topic areas but offers more detailed commentary). Topics included in the Rules are the client-lawyer relationship, the attorney's role as an advocate and counselor, law firms and associations, public service, transactions with individuals other than clients and information about legal services including advertising, firm names, and letterhead. The American Dental Association's Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct is organized around the five ethical principles of patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity. There are substantial similarities in intent between the ethical standards of dentists and lawyers; there are also differences.
