Religious morality (and secular humanism) in Western civilization as precursors to medical ethics: A historic perspective

1 Comment / Articles / By BlackHeron_cKw4

Abstract — In discussing bioethics and the formulation of neuroethics, the question has arisen as to whether secular humanism should be the sole philosophical guiding light, to the exclusion of any discussion (or even mention) of religious morality, in professional medical ethics.
