Big picture

Time period Development summary More details
Before 1970s Prelude The term medical ethics first dates back to the early 19th century, when English author and physician Thomas Percival publishes a document describing the requirements and expectations of medical professionals within medical facilities. The Code of Ethics is adapted in 1847, relying heavily on Percival's words.[1] In the 1960s, the Hippocratic Oath is changed to require "utmost respect for human life from its beginning", making it a more secular obligation, not to be taken in the presence of God or any gods, but before only other people. By this time, however, a wide range of new ethical problems emerge, all of them driven by spectacular advances in medicine and biology.[2]
1970s Field emergence The field of applied ethics emerges from debate surrounding rapid medical and technological advances in the early decade.[3][4][5] A notable aspect of the emergence of more systematic and theoretically sophisticated medical ethics and bioethics in the 1970s was the ground-breaking application óf broad-based ethical theories like utilitarianism and Kantian ethics directly to issues in medical practice, such as paternalism and end-of-life decision-making.[6]
1980s Increased awareness More attention is payed ethical issues, revealing some excesses of medical research and medical paternalism conflicting with ethical principles.[7] The United Nations Principles of Medical Ethics is adopted.
1990s Continued changes The field of medical ethics undergoes changes. Individual clinical issues, especially those related to death and dying, continue to create conflict and preoccupy hospital staffs. But professional ethicists focus on social concerns more frequently than they have in the past. Clinical practice and the law move toward less demanding standards of proof regarding the withdrawal of treatment from patients who are no longer competent.[8]
2000s Particular focus In this decade, euthanasia becomes the most active area of research in bioethics.[9]
