title: The trouble with caring: a review of eight arguments against an ethic of care.
abstract: Caring represents a large social movement that includes, but is not limited to, nursing. Some nurse scholars and feminists believe that caring can be used as the basis of a caring ethic, but critics argue that caring is not enough. This article reviews eight of the major arguments against a caring ethic and explores responses and alternatives to the arguments.
