1960년대 미국 생명윤리의 기원 (cf. 의료윤리)

"Prior to the 1960s, medical ethics had largely been the “doctors’ preserve,” Rothman believed. Established medicine insisted that “medical ethics should be left entirely to medicine, and whatever public policies flowed from these ethical principles were not to be contested or subverted.” In the 1960s a new set of questions developed over issues surrounding experimentation with human subjects and revolutionized this state of affairs. For Rothman, “human experimentation served as the magnet bringing outsiders to medicine.”(68) The public and bioethical response to revelations of ethical abuses in experimentation with human subjects in the 1960s accounts for what Rothman believed to the hallmark of the origins of bioethics, that is, bringing public critical examination to bear on medical decision making."
