医学、法律和社会价值观都不是一成不变的。重新审查医疗实践的伦理原则及其在新情况下的应用是一项必要的工作。美国医师伦理手册的第四版涵盖了新出现的问题，在医学伦理和重温旧的。它反映了内科医生和他们的病人所面临的许多伦理紧张局势，并试图阐明现有的原则如何延伸到新出现的问题。此外，通过重申为解决过去的伦理问题提供指导的伦理原则，它可能有助于医生避免未来的问题。该手册不能取代医生个人的经验和诚信，但可以提醒人们注意医疗行业的共同义务和责任。
Medicine, law, and social values are not static. Reexamining the ethical tenets of medical practice and their application in new circumstances is a necessary exercise. The fourth edition of the American College of Physicians Ethics Manual covers emerging issues in medical ethics and revisits old ones. It reflects on many of the ethical tensions faced by internists and their patients and attempts to shed light on how existing principles extend to emerging concerns. In addition, by reiterating ethical principles that have provided guidance in resolving past ethical problems, it may help physicians to avert future problems. The Manual is not a substitute for the experience and integrity of individual physicians, but it may serve as a reminder of the shared obligations and duties of the medical profession.
