Abstract:
Combativeness is a social illness. We are surrounded by culture wars over abortion, vaccine mandates, transgender care, how we die, and even how we define death. The problem is not that we disagree, but how we disagree: too often, with anger, aggression, and a sense of urgency to win against the other. Bioethicists have the knowledge and skills needed to model constructive disagreement and respectful calls for change. Bioethicists may have increased awareness that everyone suffers from unconscious self-serving biases-we are all imperfect. They are trained to recognize competing values and to engage in processes of balancing values in social contexts. Clinical ethicists are additionally trained in mediation, which involves acknowledging goodwill, listening deeply, apologizing when needed, and seeking common ground. In short, bioethicists have many of the tools needed to be healers of a culture afflicted with combativeness.
摘要:
反抗是一种社会疾病。我们被围绕堕胎的文化战争所包围,疫苗授权,跨性别护理,我们怎么死,甚至我们如何定义死亡。问题不在于我们不同意,但是我们的分歧是:太频繁了,带着愤怒,侵略,以及战胜对方的紧迫感.生物伦理学家具有模拟建设性分歧和尊重变革呼吁所需的知识和技能。生物伦理学家可能已经意识到每个人都患有无意识的自我服务偏见-我们都是不完美的。他们被训练来识别相互竞争的价值观,并参与在社会环境中平衡价值观的过程。临床伦理学家还接受过调解方面的培训,这包括承认善意,深入聆听,在需要的时候道歉,寻求共同点。总之,生物伦理学家拥有许多必要的工具,可以成为饱受战斗性折磨的文化的治疗者。
