A physician's meditation on war: Historical examples and responsibilities
Background
Do physicians have a moral obligation to oppose war? Historical examples suggest the conundrum associated with dealing with that issue. During the First World War some 16,000 men were identified as Conscientious Objectors in England. Conspicuously absent from these men were any physicians.
Historical Examples
William Osler (1849–1919) put on a public face of supporting the War effort, yet he and his wife Grace worried privately about the possibility of their son, Revere, participating. With the loss of Revere to the War, Osler's attitude towards war changed dramatically and he bemoaned the cost associated with war and questioned whether Science would be the salvation or the ruin of mankind. Several of Osler's contemporaries took pacifist stances against war.
Contemporary Perspective
Contemporarily, how should physicians project their authority in a world still aflame with the possibility of war? This paper will provide contemporary thoughts on the issue and provide insight into the dilemmas faced by physicians and war.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
