Zusammenfassung

Wie alles menschliche Handeln ist auch und gerade das Tun des Arztes ethischen d. h. sittlichen Wertungen unterworfen. Diese führen zu gewichtigen Fragen, über die in der Medizin nur selten gesprochen werden, wie z. B.:

  • Wann beginnt das Leben?

  • Wann ist eine Therapie zu beenden?

  • Wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen aktiver und passiver Sterbehilfe?

  • Sind lebensbedrohliche Komplikationen immer zu behandeln?

Die für uns wichtigen Aspekte der Dinge sind durch ihre Einfachheit und Alltäglichkeit verborgen — man kann es nicht bemerken, weil man es immer vor Augen hat. Die eigentlichen Grundlagen seiner Forschung fallen dem Menschen gar nicht auf.

(Ludwig Wittgenstein)
