| Summary: | In The Trusted Doctor: Medical Ethics and Professionalism, Rosamond Rhodes offers nothing less than a “new theory of medical ethics.” This theory is rooted in a social contract between the medical profession and the society for whom it cares. Rejecting the principlism and common morality that dominate modern medical ethics, Rhodes offers a duties-based approach that reflects the special powers, privileges, and immunities granted to medical professionals. It is a compelling and comprehensive account that suggests medical ethics are best developed by and for medical professionals. But can the society who places its trust in medicine be left out of the development of the norms and practices that medical ethics both define and reflect? |
