  • Quid Est 'Bioethics'?
    What Is “Bioethics”? (Quid est ‘Bioethics’?) Dianne N. Irving “A small error in the beginning leads to a multitude of errors in the end.” Thomas Aquinas, De Ente Et Essentia Aristotle, De Coelo I. INTRODUCTION There is a strange phenomenon I have encountered over the last several years which I hope at least to identify with this essay. It is the apparent belief that bioethics is somehow the same as, or to be equated with, ethics per se, or at least with medical ethics per se. I have even heard it referred to as Roman Catholic medical ethics per se. Repeatedly, when I ask a group to define “bioethics,” I usually get the same sort of response. I hope with this essay to disenfranchise people of this belief. Contrary to “popular opinion,” bioethics, as predominantly practiced today–especially as embedded in formal governmental regulations, state laws and a myriad of other documents, committees, guidelines, guidebooks, etc., around the worldi–is not the same thing as “ethics per se.” Academically it is actually a sub-field of ethics and stands alongside many other theories of ethics, e.g., Kantian deontology, Millsean utilitarianism, casuistry, natural law, egoism, situation ethics, relativism, and various forms of theological ethics, etc. And like all ethical theories, bioethics is by no means “neutral”–there is no such thing as a “neutral ethics.”ii In fact, bioethics defines itself as a normative ethical theory–that is, it takes a stand on what is right or wrong.iii Nor is bioethics to be equated with “medical ethics,” as that term is still generally understood.iv Nor is it the same as Roman Catholic medical ethics or any other such subsystem of ethics that could be used to determine the rightness and wrongness of human actions within the 1 medical context.

  • Dr. John Charles Baldwin September 23, 1948 - April 3, 2016
    PHONE: (972) 562-2601 Dr. John Charles Baldwin September 23, 1948 - April 3, 2016 Dr. John Charles Baldwin passed away on Sunday, April 3, following a swimming accident that occurred along the Pacific coastline in San Diego, California. He was sixty-seven years old. Dr. Baldwin’s life and career was accompanied by a record of extraordinary accomplishments, and his dedication to service touched the lives of untold patients, families, and colleagues. To those that knew him, he was a father, a husband, a doctor, a mentor, a historian, an activist, and a protector. He is survived by his two sons, Benjamin Baldwin of Dallas, Texas, and Andrew Baldwin of New Haven, Connecticut, and his grandson Jack Baldwin of Dallas, Texas. He was preceded in death by his eldest son, Alistair Baldwin of Boston, Massachusetts. The only child of Charles and Annabel Baldwin, John was born in Fort Worth, Texas, where he lived until the age of 5 when the severity of his childhood asthma compelled his parents to move – sight unseen – to Las Cruces, New Mexico, in search of a climate better-suited to his condition. The asthma subsided, and John excelled as a varsity athlete, class president, and school valedictorian. He attended Harvard College, where among other accolades, he was awarded the Wendell Scholarship, elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honors society, graduated summa cum laude, and was selected for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. Following the requisite year of study at Oxford, he began medical school at Stanford University, and after completing both medical and surgical residencies at Massachusetts General Hospital, he returned to Stanford to complete his training in cardiothoracic surgery under the tutelage of world-renowned surgeon, Dr.
