  • Title: The authority of the clinical ethicist.
    Author: Casarett DJ, Daskal F, Lantos J.
    Journal: Hastings Cent Rep; 1998; 28(6):6-11. PubMed ID: 9868603.
    Abstract:
    Mediator? Moral Expert? Or both? "Discourse Ethics" suggests that consensus provides the foundation for defensible moral norms. Thus in building consensus on a moral problem, an ethicist is not just negotiating a compromise but is contributing to the construction of moral rules and principles that have a genuine claim on us. In this way, not only does expertise on a variety of moral positions facilitate mediation, but mediation opens the way to a kind of moral expertise.
