title: Honoring experience in moral discourse.
abstract: This essay seeks to address the role of human experience in moral discourse. The authors propose that it is precisely through incorporating a collective experience of what it means to be human in moral discourse that we come to understand the relevance of moral norms in ethical decision-making. We conclude by offering a number of recommendations for ethics committees and hospital administrators.
