Excerpt from Medical Ethics: A Guide to Professional Conduct IT is not more easy to find a solid basis for medical ethics than for general ethics, which latter problem has puzzled philosophers in all times. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were content to take common opinion, the current morality of the time, 'as a sufficient basis, but later criticism sometimes refuses to accept a standard which varies in different stages of civilisation and even among different classes of the same people living at the same time; yet, with the exception of the period during which the teaching of Christ was universally regarded as the inspired Word of God, no undisputed foundation for ethics than the better kind of current opinion has been proposed, and this book is merely an attempt to give expression to the views entertained upon the questions treated by what may be called representative medical opinion.
