Issue 92: Sass, Hans-Martin: Hippokratisches Ethos und Nachhippokratische Ethik. June 1994

 
New technical capabilites and new moral challenges in clinical medicine call for new parameters and principles in post-Hippocratic health care ethics. The Hippocratic ethos of serving exclusively 'for the patient's good' still is valid. But new scenarios of expert-lay interaction in prediction, prevention, and intervention, mark a Copernican turn away from beneficient physician's ethics towards intertwined maxims, principles, and virtues of expert and lay health care ethics of communication-in-trust and cooperation-in-trust.
