  1. The Rarest and Purest Form of Generosity: Simone Weil’s Attention and Medical Practice.Mark Kissler - 2024 - Journal of Medical Humanities 45 (4):391-402.
    Attention is essential to the practice of medicine. It is required for expert and timely diagnoses and treatments, is implicated in the techniques and practices oriented toward healing, and enlivens the interpersonal dimensions of care. Attention enables witnessing, presence, compassion, and discernment. The French philosopher and activist Simone Weil (1909–1943) developed one of the most original and important descriptions of attention in the last century. For Weil, attention is not an attitude of strained focus but of perceptive waiting that leads (...)

  • The Power of Proximity: Toward an Ethic of Accompaniment in Surgical Care.C. Phifer Nicholson, Monica H. Bodd, Ellery Sarosi, Martha C. Carlough, M. Therese Lysaught & Farr A. Curlin - 2024 - Hastings Center Report 54 (2):12-21.

This article, in contrast, foregrounds the agency of those most affected by injustice by bringing to bear an ethic of accompaniment. The ethic of accompaniment is born (...)

    La mort assistée par un prestataire est en passe de devenir l’une des principales causes de décès au Canada depuis l’adoption de la loi sur l’aide médicale à mourir (AMM) en 2016. Ce qui devait être exceptionnel est devenu courant; certains demandent qu’on s’y attende. De plus en plus de patients atteints de maladies chroniques non terminales sont euthanasiés. Le personnel de santé approuve et propose désormais des MAiD aux patients vulnérables qui sont dépressifs, handicapés, atteints d’une maladie chronique ou (...)

  • The Moral Dissociation Curve, Blind Spots and Prescribing Death in Canada.I. I. Richard W. Sams - unknown
    Provider assisted death is becoming a leading cause of death in Canada since the passage of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) legislation in 2016. What was to be exceptional has now become common; some are calling for it to be expected. Increasing numbers of patients with chronic, non-terminal conditions are being euthanized. Healthcare personnel are now approving and offering MAiD to vulnerable patients who are depressed, disabled, chronically ill or impoverished. This paper presents a rationale from a transcendent moral law (...)
