Název v původním jazyce

A cross-cultural approach to radiation ethics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In spite of the on-going globalization in many fields, the ethics of radiation protection is still discussed almost exclusively in terms of concepts of "Westernů moral philosophy such as utilitarianism or deontology. A cross-cultural discourse in this field is only beginning. Beauchamp and Childress in their "Principles of Biomedical Ethics" suggest that there exists a "common morality" which is "not relative to cultures or individuals, because it transcends both". They propose four cross-culturally valid principles for decision making in medicine: respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. I suggest that their approach can serve as a model for radiation protection as well. The four principles can form an alternative ethical basisfor the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. I also propose three additional principles that seem to be of relevance, namely concern for the underprivileged, intergenerational equity, and precaution
