Codes of medical ethics.
With one of the oldest codes of ethics in history, the medical profession continues to arouse controversy. This author examines the fifth major revision of the American Medical Association's code of ethics, published in 1957. Within this revision are the basic premises in establishing a medical code of ethics. Subsequent ethical dilemmas, involving technology, for example, can still be applied to the 1957 fundamental code.
