最近，向各种医疗保健专业人员和其他对医学伦理感兴趣的人发送了一本小册子，宣布新的通讯的存在。“一个糟糕的道德决定可能会毁了你的职业生涯，”收件人被警告。为了避免这种可怕的命运，潜在的客户被鼓励“获得最艰难的医疗道德困境的答案和建议。”通过订阅时事通讯，那些有148美元的人可以，小册子承诺，利用自己的专业知识，可以预防昂贵的诉讼，避免与病人不必要的冲突，并尽量减少与各种审查委员会的时间。这也许是一个公然的例子，表明越来越多的人声称自己是道德专家，但其他人，无论是含蓄的还是明确的，都很容易在新兴的应用伦理学领域找到。
Recently a brochure was sent to a variety of health care professionals and others interested in medical ethics announcing the existence of a new newsletter. “One bad ethical decision could destroy your career,” the recipients were warned. In order to avoid this dire fate, prospective customers were encouraged to “get the answers and advice for your toughest medical ethics dilemmas.” By subscribing to the newsletter, those with one hundred and forty-eight dollars to spare could, the brochure promised, avail themselves of expertise that might forestall costly lawsuits, avoid unnecessary conflicts with patients, and minimize the amount of time spent with various review committees. This is perhaps a flagrant example of a growing chorus of claims to moral expertise, but others, both implicit and explicit, are easy to find in the burgeoning field of applied ethics.
