title: The jurists' experience of hospital medical ethics councils.
abstract: The Council for Ethics, Methodology and Economy of the "Service des Maladies Sanguines, Immunitaires et Tumorales" is proposed as a model for the resolution of ethical problems that might arise in the hospital department or service division, regarding the defence of the patients' rights against societal pressure to encourage research, ethics versus scientific methodology, and overall medicine versus economy.
