在过去,对病人的主要威胁是医疗功利主义,这种功利主义会为了集体牺牲个人,会为了群体的健康或幸福而强制性地(ab)利用一个人。今天,威胁不仅来自虚荣的社会群体,也来自价值增值的基因和基因组。对基因的过高评价有可能使人看起来不出众。本文的中心论点是,宗教医疗保健专业人员有独特的资源来对抗这种情况。©2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc。
In the past, the primary threat to the patient as person was a medical utilitarianism that would sacrifice the individual for the collective, that would coercively (ab)use a person for the sake of an in‐group's health or happiness. Today, the threat is not only from vainglorious social groups but also from valorized genes and genomes. An over‐valuation of genes risks making persons seem epiphenomenal. A central thesis of this article is that religious healthcare professionals have unique resources to combat this. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
