2. PRIMUM NON NOCERE : Medicine's Culture of Dealing with and Denial of the Occurrence of Medical Harm
Magister-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Centrum för tillämpad etikSammanfattning : The hippocratic principle "primum non nocere" (above all do no harm) has always been and still is the strong foundation of medical conduct.

Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/SocialhögskolanSammanfattning : Can coercive care be justified against drug and alcohol addicts or should treatment be offered on a strictly voluntary basis?

4. Why Use Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis to Ensure the Birth of a Deaf Child? Or Rather, Why Not?
Magister-uppsats, Centrum för tillämpad etikSammanfattning : The more geneticists discover about which genes cause what traits, the more medical practitioners as well as ethicists will have to deal with questions such as which of the myriad of identifiable conditions could or should be allowed for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and subsequent implantation via in vitro fertilization. Not a lot of controversy seems to be raised when it comes to performing PGD for serious genetic conditions such as Tay-Sachs disease or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, but what about other characteristics, for example, those which we normally would call disabilities? This thesis tackles this question, and in partifular the possibility of implanting embryos with that screen positive for deafness, as deaf parents, especially those coming from the Deaf community who see their condition as a positive part of their identity and cultural belongingness, have expressed interest in ensuring the birth of a deaf child.

5. The Golden Rule and Bioethics. A Reflection upon the Foundation of Ethics

The question is whether there exists a universal core to ethics consisting of a fundamental ethical principle across cultures. This principle could for example be the so-called Golden Rule, which goes as follows: ‘You should do to others what you want them to do to you’. LÄS MER
