The Ethics of Screening in Health Care and Medicine: Serving Society or Serving the Patient?
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Medical or health-oriented screening programs are amongst the most debated aspects of health care and public health practices in health care and public health ethics, as well as health policy discussions. In spite of this, most treatments of screening in the research literature restrict themselves to isolated scientific aspects, sometimes complemented by economic analyses or loose speculations regarding policy aspects. At the same time, recent advances in medical genetics and technology, as well as a rapidly growing societal focus on public health concerns, inspires an increase in suggested or recently started screening programs. This book involves an in-depth analysis of the ethical, political and philosophical issues related to health-oriented screening programs. It explores the considerations that arise when heath care interacts with other societal institutions on a large scale, as is the case with screening: What values may be promoted or compromised by screening programs? What conflicts of values do typically arise – both internally and in relation to the goals of health care, on the one hand, and the goals of public health and the general society, on the other? What aspects of screening are relevant for determining whether it should be undertaken or not and how it should be organised in order to remain defensible? What implications does the ethics of screening have for health care ethics as a whole? These questions are addressed by applying philosophical methods of conceptual analysis, as well as models and theories from moral and political philosophy, medical ethics, and public health ethics, to a large number of ongoing and proposed screening programs which makes this book the first comprehensive work on the ethics of screening. Analyses and suggestions are made that are of potential interest to health care staff, medical researchers, policy makers and the general public.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Health care decisions about investigation, diagnosis, and treatment may involve, engage, or affect family relations and family members of a patient in a variety of ways. This complicates the assessment of how options affect patients, and may furthermore elicit independent effect on professionals through expected actions of family members. Moreover, due to the close and intimate nature of family relationships, considerations about such aspects may be concern both clinical professionals, patients, and family members independently of how they actually manifest themselves in terms of effects on length and quality of life, autonomy and so on. In particular, decisions can be expected to both be influenced by and affect family members’ conceptions of mutual responsibilities making up the basic moral web of families, as pictured in the outset of this volume. Irrespective of how family responsibilities are allocated or what the legal requirements around medical decision-making are in place in different particular situations, health care professionals are almost always expected to play an important role in the decision-making process. The aim of this chapter is to outline how different relational aspects of families may ground obligations on behalf of health care professionals towards patients and their families in the processes of decision-making within health-care.

Antibiotikaresistens och socialismens återkomst

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I denna artikel diskuterar vi hur de svårigheter som finns med att hantera fenomenet antibiotikaresistens aktualiserar socialistiska lösningar på centrala samhällsutmaningar. Efter en kort inledning där vi förklarar vad vi avser med socialism i artikeln och beskriver socialismens plats i nutida politisk debatt, följer ett avsnitt där vi översiktligt beskriver den samhällsutmaning som antibiotikaresistens utgör. Därefter diskuterar vi hur denna utmaning på olika vis ger tyngd åt argument för socialistiska lösningar på centrala åtgärdsområden. Avslutningsvis resonerar vi mer spekulativt kring dels i vad mån dessa argument kan utsträckas till andra strukturella samhällsutmaningar, t.ex. klimatfrågan, dels vad sådan socialistisk argumentation kan betyda för socialismens plats i framtida politisk filosofi.

A New Ethical Landscape of Prenatal Testing: Individualizing Choice to Serve Autonomy and Promote Public Health: A Radical Proposal
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Bioethics. - : Wiley. - 0269-9702 .- 1467-8519. ; 29:1, s. 36-45
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new landscape of prenatal testing (PNT) is presently developing, including new techniques for risk-reducing, non-invasive sampling of foetal DNA and drastically enhanced possibilities of what may be rapidly and precisely analysed, surrounded by a growing commercial genetic testing industry and a general trend of individualization in healthcare policies. This article applies a set of established ethical notions from past debates on PNT for analysing PNT screening-programmes in this new situation. While some basic challenges of PNT stay untouched, the new development supports a radical individualization of how PNT screening is organized. This reformation is, at the same time, difficult to reconcile with responsible spending of resources in a publicly funded healthcare context. Thus, while the ethical imperative of individualization holds and applies to PNT, the new landscape of PNT provides reasons to start rolling back the type of mass-screening programmes currently established in many countries. Instead, more limited offers are suggested, based on considerations of severity of conditions and optimized to simultaneously serve reproductive autonomy and public health within an acceptable frame of priorities. The new landscape of PNT furthermore underscores the ethical importance of supporting and including people with disabilities. For the very same reason, no ban on what may be analysed using PNT in the new landscape should be applied, although private offers must, of course, conform to strict requirements of respecting reproductive autonomy and what that means in terms of counselling.
