Ethics Committees And Ethical Dilemmas

Aubrey and class,

I enjoyed reading your DQ 2 post this week, and Ethics Committees are an essential tool to utilize when an ethical dilemma arises. Using an ethical committee can bear great weight in a legal battle between a patient and a hospital. They also can give counsel to health professionals and patients in the decision-making process. In a high-stress situation for a patients family members, ethics committees can help promote collaboration and a better understanding of the situation.
Class,
Could you see yourself joining an ethics committee?
