Recent advances: Medical ethics

Abstract
Any selection of “recent advances” in medical ethics will be somewhat arbitrary, but I took two steps to diminish this. Firstly, I selected topics featured in theme issues of major journals within the past two years. Of course, journals are inevitably “journalistic” about covering hot topics—especially where views are passionate and polarised. Secondly, to identify key articles, I searched the Science Citation Index, consulted with key informants, and attended international meetings. Although citation counts reflect influence on other publications, they may not reflect the clinical application of an idea.
