Biomedical Ethics matter because living beings matter. This blog is a public space where we can discuss issues pertaining to healthcare ethics, research ethics, and biomedical ethics; issues you have encountered in your everyday life as persons, patients, nurses, doctors, healthcare workers, or simply as bystanders; issues that make you feel you want to make your voice heard and perhaps, make a difference. This is your blog - in the hope of a better future for all.
Do you think that physicians can be taught to be empathetic?
Do you think having an Advance Directive (where a patient states his/her wishes while he/she is capacitated and competent) will improve the care of patients in critical care settings?
Will saying " I am sorry" (in the right way, etc) prevent a malpractice lawsuit?
Do you think Nurses in the Arab World are undervalued?
Should fetuses with severe physical abnormalities incompatible with life be aborted?
Visitors
Are you aware of the Lebanese Patients Rights and Informed Consent Law?
Do you think Arab Countries should have one common Code of Medical Ethics?
