Abstract

ALTAMIRANO BUSTAMANTE, Nelly F. et al. Rethinking ethical decision-making in pediatrics. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2010, vol.67, n.3, pp.188-195. ISSN 1665-1146.

A challenge for 21^st century medicine is to rediscover the value of philanthropy and philotechnia in contemporary clinical practice because both are terms that adapt to our more current understanding of how value-based medicine and evidence-based medicine must always go "hand in hand." Our proposal is to offer an integral ethical deliberation method that implies a holistic view of the ethical dilemmas in pediatric clinical practice.

Keywords : ethical decision-making; clinical dilemmas; bioethics.
