Patients Gifting to Providers: Ethical or Suspect?

Art Caplan asks this very question in his MSNBC column this week. When a wealthy recluse died at the age of 104, to whom did she leave her fortune? Her nurse (to the tune of $30M) and her doctor (a measly $100K). Did these providers somehow cross a boundary between the provider-patient relationship? Or does this simply reflect the bond between caregivers and patients?

Feeding Tubes for Brides?

Sometimes doctors engage in questionable practices for the “good of the patient.” Think plastic surgeons who enhance breasts to any size to help their patients feel better about their body image. But this latest trend in bridal dieting really takes the (wedding) cake. �Dieting brides-to-be who want to be able to fit into that wedding dress are now using feeding tubes to diet for the big day, says the New York Times.

Gingrich on IVF: Bad for Families, Bad for Bioethics

Scientists, reproductive specialists and andrologists had better prepare. If Newt Gingrich has his way (and wins the Presidency), he will have a whole new world in store for science and medicine.

Newt has revived the embryo debate in Republican politics, giving bioethicists a “walk-on role” as Michael Cook explains it. How successful he will be on keeping it on the radar is another issue altogether. It is just as likely that Newt may have just been pandering to the audience at the Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church in Florida, trying to secure votes that clearly were not enough to win the Florida Primary.…
