{"title":"[Can we accept medical progress without progress in ethics?].","authors":"Lazare Benaroyo","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Since the mid 20th century progress in biomedical science has been punctuated by the emergence of bioethics which has fashioned the moral framework of its application to both research and clinical practice. Can we, however, consider the advent of bioethics as a form of progress marking the advances made in biomedical science with an adequate ethical stamp? The argument put forward in this chapter is based on the observation that, far from being a mark of progess, the development of bioethics runs the risk of favouring, like modern science, a dissolution of the links that unite ethics and medicine, and so of depriving the latter of the humanist dimensions that underlie the responsibilities that fall to it. Faced with this possible pitfall, this contribution proposes to envisage as a figure of moral progress, consubstantial with the development of biomedical science, an ethical approach conceived as a means of social intervention which takes the first steps towards an ethics of responsibility integrating the bioethical perspective within a hermeneutic and deliberative approach. By the yardstick of a prudential approach, it would pay particular attention to the diverse sources of normativity in medical acts. It is suggested that this ethical approach is a source of progress insofar as it constitutes an indispensable attitude of watchfulness, which biomedical science can lean on as it advances, with a view to ensuring that the fundamental link uniting ethics and medicine is maintained.</p>","PeriodicalId":81629,"journal":{"name":"Journal international de bioethique = International journal of bioethics","volume":"24 2-3","pages":"23-42, 163-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31695771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before answering, it is important to put Belgian hospital ethics committees in context, firstly by explaining their missions: defining general ethical guidelines in order to help physicians in their practice, providing for punctual advice and assessing every clinical research protocol which is proposed to a physician of the hospital. Theoretical information concerning the missions of Belgian hospital ethics committees is the opportunity to develop some thinking elements of about the role and duties of those committees. We can then wonder who are or should be the members of hospital ethics committees: what does the law say and what to think about it? Questions about ethics committees'missions and members allow us to come to the conclusion that the mere fact of being member of a hospital ethics committee is not enough to call oneself a bioethicist.
