Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Adopting a life-systems perspective and an ethics based on the Good of systems homeostasis opens up new levels of analysis and argument as we deal with the complex questions facing the medical community today. An ethics based on our science of life systems is satisfactory philosophically in that it corresponds to our understanding of biological "truth" and clinically in that it is understandable and communicable in physiological terms. |
