Immoral Doctors An intellectual discussion of medical ethics using illustrative cases

We have created this page to enable individuals to discuss any concerns they may have about medical ethics. The content of this page has been carefully chosen to highlight specific ethical issues. It is hoped that the page will encourage free and open discussion of general medical-ethical concerns by use of illustrative cases. It is our belief that the pepetrators of immoral acts follow a form of logic which takes no account of established ethical rules. We will therefore speculate upon the possible reasoning behind the illustrative acts of immorality followed by a discussion of why their acts are against ethical principals. In addition, we aim to highlight the phenomenon in which certain groups and individuals associated with the medical profession develop the belief that, by virtue of their profession, they are exempt from the standard rules and regulations enforced upon the rest of society.

It should be noted that the majority of doctors, nurses and other professionals allied to medicine are decent, moral and law-abiding individuals. The cases highlighted in this website are fortunately rare and, in most cases, dealt with appropriately.
