Ethics and bioethics.
The Biomedical Ethics Advisory Committee is not concerned with infractions of the hospital's by-laws or the personal, professional code of ethics of the physician. It answers consultations relative to moral issues involved in possible infractions of patients' rights. As much, after studying the moral issues involved, the committee presents the referring physician with advice that will enable him to render a valid decision in accord with preservation of the patient's rights and avoidance of possible future legal involvement.
