One concern about this notable rate of growth is the possibility that practice has outstripped theory. In particular, it is controversial whether clinical ethicists should offer substantive recommendations as part of their practice. This article addresses the status, legitimacy, and authority of such recommendations, proceeding from the idea that they are to be treated as advisory. Taking this idea seriously and developing it through recent philosophical work on advising helps to defuse challenges to CEC as a profession and promotes a conception of CEC as a collaborative activity with a clear distribution of responsibility between ethicist and stakeholders. Moreover, moral norms for advising that exist in abstraction from particular knowledge domains can help to substantiate and clarify professional norms for CEC practice, including the loci of moral responsibility for patient outcomes, the relationship to patient advocacy, and the norm against functioning as the \"ethics police.\"</p>","PeriodicalId":94251,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical medicine and bioethics","volume":" ","pages":"323-341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147793657","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}

Promoting deceased organ donation: should familist incentives be adopted in Islamic regions? 促进死者器官捐献:伊斯兰地区应采取家庭主义激励措施吗?

It argues that the familist incentive (a system in which the immediate relatives of a deceased donor are given priority in organ allocation within the waitlist of medically similar patients) should be adopted in Islamic regions, where the prevailing Islamic moral culture shapes the way of life for the majority of inhabitants by following the Islamic classics. The classics value the preservation of human life and legitimize the priority of saving the lives of family members. The essay also provides practical reasons to address objections to adopting such an approach in Islamic regions. It concludes that adopting a familist incentive approach could be both morally defensible and practically effective in these regions, thereby optimizing deceased organ donations, protecting the progeny of the family, and improving overall healthcare outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94251,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical medicine and bioethics","volume":" ","pages":"195-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13102804/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147346206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes that an in-between layer of selfhood needs to be distinguished and studied to understand pain-related suffering in a more thorough manner: the enworlded self. Pain-related suffering is a complex phenomenon involving mood-related processes and everyday challenges on at least three different levels: lived bodily experiences, lifeworld matters, and questions about personal identity. These three different levels correspond to three connected aspects of layered selfhood: the minimal self, the enworlded self, and the narrative self. By using a published memoire focusing on chronic pain experiences, this article attempts to enlighten the middle ground of enworlded selfhood and also identifies two different regions of the lifeworld in which the damaging and alienating experiences take their toll: the work-world and the family-world. In addition, a third region of the lifeworld is identified: the patient-world, a region which is formed and expands as the chronic-pain sufferer searches for medical-professional advice and assistance. By addressing the three different layers of selfhood and how they interact in the everyday life of the patient, chronic-pain suffering can be better understood and, also, possibly alleviated by taking appropriate measures that fit the attuned pattern of the pain experiences of each individual.</p>","PeriodicalId":94251,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical medicine and bioethics","volume":" ","pages":"213-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13102727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147350224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a five-step model of diagnostic reasoning that analyses the epistemic foundation of diagnosis: namely, the structured process by which clinicians construct coherence under constraint. The model describes diagnosis as a disciplined convergence from presenting data toward an explanatory frame that is internally consistent, pathophysiologically plausible, and resistant to contradiction. Grounded in coherence-based epistemology and abductive inference, the framework clarifies how clinicians move from presentation to working diagnosis through five recursive phases: problem framing, perspective construction, constraint application, stabilisation, and clarification. It integrates, rather than replaces, existing approaches-such as dual-process theory, illness script development, and Bayesian updating-by making their underlying reasoning structure explicit and teachable. The model serves as a scaffold for reasoning transparency, structured feedback, and reflective practice. It provides coherence criteria for assessing diagnostic thought and supports formative instruction across simulation, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), and bedside contexts. While awaiting empirical validation, the present framework offers a theoretical foundation for studying how diagnostic coherence develops and can be taught. In this account, diagnosis is not defined by classification or probability alone, but by the clinician's capacity to construct and sustain an explanatory model that coheres with evidence and contextual constraints.</p>","PeriodicalId":94251,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical medicine and bioethics","volume":" ","pages":"149-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147446579","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}

Psychiatric harm arises when psychological inabilities obstruct the formation or pursuit of admissible conceptions of the good life. I reject definitions grounded in uncritical social consensus, rationalist exclusions, or essentialist ideals of human flourishing, and instead propose standards rooted in normative pluralism and democratic values that respect individual diversity. Finally, I indicate that this framework could be operationalised through methodologies exemplified by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).</p>","PeriodicalId":94251,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical medicine and bioethics","volume":" ","pages":"259-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147505757","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}

Judged by these standards, the current guidelines for determining death based on neurological criteria are not convincing: brain death does not indicate the disintegration of the human organism, and intensive care keeps patients alive and does not 'mask' death. Furthermore, 'permanent' loss of organ function can never reliably indicate death.
