Abstract

The authors argue against using casuistry and specification in teaching ethics to medical professionals. These approaches, they argue, can make it harder for students to see the reasoning that goes on behind moral decision-making. Instead, they argue for a balancing approach that weighs the relative importance of different and conflicting values in application.
