  • Title: Bioethics and international human rights.
    Author: Thomasma DC.
    Journal: J Law Med Ethics; 1997; 25(4):295-306, 231. PubMed ID: 11066512.
    Abstract:
    Noting how the spread of medical technology is creating clashes with traditional values and within cultures, the author addresses the clash between Western rights-based incentives, as used by the United Nations to guarantee respect for life and dignity, and communitarian traditions. He proposes a mean between wholesale cultural relativism and international absolutism.
