  • Title: Blue-ribbon commissions and political ethics in the Federal Republic of Germany.
    Author: Sass HM.
    Journal: J Med Philos; 1989 Aug; 14(4):465-72. PubMed ID: 2778418.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents an overview of political and professional committees in the Federal Republic of Germany dealing with issues of biomedical ethics. The prevailing tendencies of paternalistic attitudes, the worst-case-scenario argumentation method, and the unfortunate practice of applying general principles rather than mid-level principles in the assessment of concrete challenges in treatment and regulation are analyzed.
