在本文中,作者试图探讨与国际生物医学伦理准则的制定和应用有关的一些问题,特别是针对非洲。最近修订和更新一些国际医学伦理准则的尝试因内容和表述方面的棘手争议和争论而陷入困境。作者从对非洲和西方背景相对熟悉的角度,以及参与修订和更新其中一项国际伦理准则的荣幸,对这些问题进行了广泛的思考,并试图从理论和实践的角度提出一种方法,以减轻(如果不是完全消除的话)一些问题和困难。
In this paper, the author attempts to explore some of the problems connected with the formulation and application of international biomedical ethical guidelines, with particular reference to Africa. Recent attempts at revising and updating some international medical ethical guidelines have been bedevilled by intractable controversies and wrangling regarding both the content and formulation. From the vantage position of relative familiarity with both African and Western contexts, and the privilege of having been involved in the revision and updating of one of the international ethical guidelines, the author reflects broadly on these issues and attempts prescribing an approach from both the theoretical and practical angles liable to mitigate, if not completely eliminate, some of the problems and difficulties.
