Voluntariness is a necessary condition of valid consent. But determining whether a person consented voluntarily can be difficult, especially when people are subjected to coercion or manipulation, placed in a situation with no acceptable alternative other than to consent to something, or find themselves in an abusive relationship.

Since 1847, the AMA Code of Medical Ethics has set out the ethical commitments that define medicine as a profession. Through the Principles of Medical Ethics and Opinions of the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs that interpret them, the AMA Code provides timely, practical ethics guidance for physicians across the profession, regardless of specialty.

Medicine and Shariah brings together experts from various fields, including clinicians, Islamic studies experts, and Muslim theologians, to analyze the interaction of the doctors and jurists who are forging the field of Islamic bioethics.Although much ink has been spilled in generating Islamic responses to bioethical questions and in analyzing fatwas, Islamic bioethics still remains an emerging field. How are Islamic bioethical norms to be generated? Are Islamic bioethical writings to be considered as part of the broader academic discourse in bioethics? What even is the scope of Islamic bioethics? Taking up these and related questions, the essays in Medicine and Shariah provide the groundwork for a more robust field. The volume begins by furnishing concepts and terms needed to map out the discourse. It concludes by offering a multidisciplinary model for ethical deliberation that accounts for the various disciplines needed to derive Islamic moral norms and to understand biomedical contexts. In between these bookends, contributors apply various analytic, empirical, and normative lenses to examine the interaction between biomedical knowledge (represented by physicians) and Islamic law (represented by jurists) in Islamic bioethical deliberation.By providing a multidisciplinary model for generating Islamic bioethics rulings, Medicine and Shariah provides the critical foundations for an Islamic bioethics that better attends to specific biomedical contexts and also accurately reflects the moral vision of Islam. The volume will be essential reading for bioethicists and scholars of Islam; for those interested in the dialectics of tradition, modernity, science, and religion; and more broadly for scholarly and professional communities that work at the intersection of the Islamic tradition and contemporary healthcare.Contributors: Ebrahim Moosa, Aasim I.

Obwohl der Gewissenbegriff im Bewusstsein der meisten Medizinethiker durch den Strukturwandel im Gesundheitswesen in den letzten Jahrzehnten erheblich an Bedeutung verloren hat, bahnt sich im Zuge der fortschreitenden Pluralisierung des Wertempfindens in modernen Gesellschaften (nicht zuletzt durch das Wiedererstarken religios-weltanschaulicher Positionen) eine erneute Diskussion um den Gewissensvorbehalt bei der Erbringung medizinischer Leistungen an. Der vorliegende Band nahert sich der Gewissenthematik bewusst aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive, um die verschiedenen Dimensionen einer Gewissenentscheidung auszuleuchten und die Folgen der fortschreitenden Verrechtlichung und Okonomisierung fur die Gewissensfreiheit der verschiedenen im Gesundheitswesen tatigen Berufsgruppen kritisch zu reflektieren.

This volume explores different models of regulating the use of restrictive practices in health care and disability settings.The authors examine the legislation, policies, inspection, enforcement and accreditation of the use of practices such as physical, mechanical and chemical restraint. They also explore the importance of factors such as organisational culture and staff training to the effective implementation of regulatory regimes. In doing so, the collection provides a solid evidence base for both the development and implementation of effective approaches to restrictive practices that focus on their reduction and, ultimately, their elimination across health care sectors. Divided into five parts, the volume covers new ground in multiple respects. First, it addresses the use of restrictive practices across mental health, disability and aged care settings, creating opportunities for new insights and interdisciplinary conversations across traditionally siloed sectors. Second, it includes contributions from research academics, clinicians, regulators and mental health consumers, offering a rich and comprehensive picture of existing regulatory regimes and options for designing and implementing regulatory approaches that address the failings of current systems. Finally, it incorporates comparative perspectives from Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany and England.The book is an invaluable resource for regulators, policymakers, lawyers, clinicians, consumer advocates and academics grappling with the use and regulation of restrictive practices in mental health, disability and aged care contexts.

In this book the basics of clinical leadership are provided with a practical approach on how to be an effective clinical leader and manager.

"From 2005 to 2013, Durrani performed unnecessary spine surgeries on unsuspecting victims in Cincinnati, Ohio hospitals. The hospitals knew he performed these unnecessary procedures, but they craved the money Durrani generated. Durrani's insurance company, Medical Protective, refused to pay the victims. Eric Deters fought and continues to fight an epic battle unlike any other in the history of American law. The Ohio court system, led by the corrupt Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, refused to provide the victims timely trials. The Kentucky Bar Association and Ohio Disciplinary System would do all they could to aide Durrani by assailing Eric Deters at every turn. This saga covers a thousand victims and a thousand anecdotes including the following: A federal grand jury indicted Durrani for healthcare fraud. Rather than face a federal jury, Durrani fled the United States to Pakistan. Seventy-nine men and women died waiting for their trials. More will sadly follow. Deters Law won a record number of verdicts, including the largest in Ohio history for a medical malpractice case. During this battle, Eric Deters was suspended, retired, went broke, served time in jail for contempt fighting for trials, was banned from the courtroom, banned from the courthouse, considered suicide out of spite and frustration, fought two state bar associations, betrayed by friends and family, including his father, his brother and the Hamilton County Prosecutor, had the IRS criminal division sent after him, almost lost his arm and nearly died from a staph infection, and yet kept the trust of 580 clients, financed the battle by borrowing and paying back millions and to this day he still stands. In the history of American law, no group of citizens in America have suffered more incomprehensible injustice than the Durrani victims. This is their true story."--Book jacket.

Kommunikation im Kontext der Organspende gehört zu den sensibelsten und herausforderndsten Aufgaben im Klinikalltag. Angehörige und medizinisches Fachpersonal begegnen sich in einer äußerst belastenden Phase der Unsicherheit, Trauer und Verletzlichkeit. Dennoch müssen sie gemeinsam klären, ob ein Organspendeausweis vorliegt und das bereits intensivmedizinisch betreute Familienmitglied einer Organspende zustimmen würde. Die Interessen der Beteiligten unterscheiden sich und treffen sich zugleich in der Zielsetzung, den Willen des Patienten mit dieser Entscheidung umzusetzen. Der interdisziplinär angelegte Band reflektiert die im Feld bestehenden Kontingenzen. Er zielt auf eine Präzisierung der Wahrnehmung und erörtert Handlungsoptionen, die dazu beitragen können, diese spezifische Kommunikationssituation konkret zu entlasten.

"The law is an ass." Those are the words of Charles Dickens' Mr. Bumble. However, they also serve as an apt description of the state of Canadian law since the advent of MAiD - Medical Assistance in Dying, which was enacted by the government of Justin Trudeau in 2016 and expanded in 2021. Canada has opened up a deadly Pandora's box of euthanasia; and it will take an act of God to shut it! MAiD legalizes murder-by-consent under certain conditions. It started with those who are terminally ill. Now those who are disabled can qualify. In 2023, those who are depressed may be included. It is not hard to imagine, in time, a regime of euthanasia-on-demand for anyone and any reason, or for no reason at all! We must also consider the possibility of a government mandate for euthanasia should some unforeseen crisis arise. In this concise booklet, Trudeau's euthanasia program is explained and critiqued. Its faults and dangers are exposed to serve as a warning to Canada and the world. When a country decides to remove the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," no one is truly safe!
