ABSTRACT

The supremacy of individual consent and autonomy in resolving bioethical problems and medical decision making is increasingly being called into question in Eastern cultures, where long-standing customs and traditions often clash with the Western principles of autonomy, self-determination, and individual rights. In order to strengthen and promote medical ethics and bioethics in the East, a detailed understanding of the ethical traditions of both civilizations is needed. This study goes some way toward fulfilling that need by providing a cross-cultural comparison of Eastern and Western bioethics and examining Confucian and Western moral perspectives on medical decision making.
