Abstract:
Overview: There are many sources of conflict in oncology. Conflicts arise because there are numerous therapeutic options, each of which is imperfect, and these conflicts produce ethical dilemmas. A recent American Medical Association (AMA) publication outlined the principles of medical ethics for managing conflicts. Common conflicts in oncology include whether to resuscitate, to give more chemotherapy, and how much truth to tell. These conflicts are magnified because of the life and death scenario of advanced cancer. Denial, avoidance, and hope are psychologic mechanisms that enable adaptation to the life-threatening circumstances. Hope is widely written about though poorly understood and defined. Ethical statements regarding its virtue and importance to preserve are frequently given. In an effort to progress the understanding of hope, two critical features are defined: (1) hope as a thought process only exists in the future, and (2) hope is only ever associated with positive and good thoughts. The future is unknown and uncertain; therefore, hoping can be manipulated by presenting statistics in a way to boost hoping. Thus a dilemma and specific ethical responsibility falls on oncologists when discussing conflicts. Furthermore, since hope is a subjective assessment of a possibility that is considered “good” by the hoper, it cannot be perceived as “false.” “False hope” is an erroneous assessment. Finally, this article introduces the concept that there might be a role to stop hoping—since hope of the future is also filled with doubt and fear—and instead live in the present and try to find joy and meaning today.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration and analysis of what audiences may be learning about medical professionalism from the fictional television (TV) medical drama House MD. Fictional TV medical dramas are an important form of medical narrative in that they are usually created by writers with no medical training. As such, they carry a higher risk of portraying the practice of medicine inaccurately. A review of the scholarly literature reveals that there is a precedent for fictional TV medical dramas to affect viewers' perception of the practice of medicine and health behaviours, and viewers' understanding of medical ethics issues. It also reveals strong empirical evidence that TV medical dramas can affect audience's perceptions of physicians' character. A thorough review of the first two seasons of House MD reveals 20 lessons on professionalism (i.e. lessons on interactions with colleagues and patients, medical ethics, and professional competence) that the title character, Gregory House, is imparting to viewers. All 20 lessons are in direct conflict with established charters on professionalism. Arguments are made for the programme's potential to negatively affect patient access to care, physician-patient relations, interactions between healthcare professionals, and applications to medical school.

Full text
Abstract:
When considering the ethico-political task of postcolonial criticism Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak claims that "ethics is the experience of the impossible, " and that "deconstruction cannot form a political program of any kind. " Both these ideas motivate the central question of this thesis: if ethics is an experience of the impossible and deconstruction cannot form a political program, can we produce an ethical critique that radically considers the narrative representation of violent oppression within different postcolonial cultures and histories? This question will be addressed via four modes of enquiry: 1) By considering the current role of deconstruction within postcolonial criticism and asking whether deconstruction is a concept of writing that can be incorporated into reading strategies which intend to identify an ethics within writing; 2) by examining recent critical investigations into the idea that literary-linguistic structures themselves have ethical characteristics, and asking whether it is possible to identify an ethics within the structure of certain postcolonial fictions; 3) by investigating the representation of violence and physical oppression intrinsic to these fictions, and asking how the inscription of that violence affects their narrative structures; and, 4) by arguing that the representation of the postcolonial body in pain not only affects the structures of the narratives considered, but also plays a vital role in the radical ethics of that fiction. This last concern is initiated by Elaine Scarry's claim that pain itself remains utterly resistant to language. These enquiries will be made alongside critical examinations of twelve international postcolonial novels and their narrative structures. In doing so this thesis will ask whether it is possible to identify a radical ethics of fiction that is common to various postcolonial cultures, rather than a discursively informed ethics that is culturally or historically specific.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the concept of virtue ethics in Stanley Hauerwas's understanding of virtue and delineate how that contributes to his ethical reasoning and his comprehension of medical ethics. The first chapter focuses on the shift that occurred in moral theory under the stance of the Enlightenment that eroded the traditional idea of morality as the formation of the self, allowing space for new concepts that dismissed the importance of the agent in the ethical task of seeking the good. In the second chapter, the three main ideas (character, vision, and narrative) that make up Hauerwas' ethical theory are examined with a particular attention to the importance of agency in moral life. The third chapter describes how Hauerwas' medical ethics, informed by his moral theory based on character, vision, and narrative, is relevant to medical ethics. Hauerwas argues that because medicine is a form of human activity with internal goods and standards of excellence intrinsic to its practice, it requires taking into account the notion of agency in the healing relationship. Finally, in the last chapter the specific religious discourse of Hauerwas' ethics is discussed in relation to secular medical ethics. In other words, this thesis raises the question of whether the reduction of medical ethics to a set of principles, as it is mostly the case today, represents a suitable picture of the reality of moral life in medicine.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the fiction of contemporary American author George Saunders in terms of how it presents situations applicable to the chief notions of posthumanist ethics and how these conceptions of ethics concern nonhuman animals, which are prevalent in his writing. Posthumanist ethics can help us understand what is at play in Saunders’s fiction. Meanwhile, his fiction can help us understand what is at stake in posthumanist ethics. This interdisciplinary project may be beneficial both to conceiving new notions of ethics that are more inclusive and, more implicitly, to understanding the relevance of Saunders’s fiction to the current American sociocultural climate.
Aquesta tesi analitza la ficció de l'escriptor nord-americà contemporani George Saunders, tot centrat-se en com presenta situacions aplicables als principals conceptes de l’ètica posthumanista i en com aquests conceptes ètics afecten els animals no humans, que apareixen amb freqüència en els seus escrits. L'ètica posthumanista pot ajudar-nos a entendre el que està en joc en la ficció de Saunders. Mentrestant, la seva ficció pot ajudar-nos a comprendre el que està en joc en l'ètica posthumanista. Aquest projecte interdisciplinari pot esdevinir beneficiós tant per concebre noves nocions d'ètica més inclusives com, més implícitament, per comprendre la rellevància de la ficció de Saunders dins el context sociocultural nord-americà actual.

Abstract:
Any research must follow ethical principles, particularly when it involves people as participants and is likely to impact them. This is standard practice in academic research and a legal requirement in medical trials, but also applies to research carried out by Oxfam. Oxfam’s work focuses on vulnerable populations, and takes place under difficult circumstances. When research takes place in such vulnerable and fragile contexts, high ethical standards need to be met and tailored to the specific characteristics of each situation. Oxfam welcomes the adaptation of this guideline by other NGOs, community organizations and researchers working in fragile contexts and with vulnerable communities. The guideline should be read together with other relevant Oxfam and Oxfam GB policies and protocols, including the guidelines on Writing Terms of Reference for Research, Integrating Gender in Research Planning and Doing Research with Enumerators. A flowchart summarizing the guideline is also available to download on this page.
