Ethics in Medicine — Are We Asking the Right Questions? | Santosh MedCast Ep. 19
In this thought-provoking episode of Santosh MedCast, we bring together two distinguished voices in medicine and bioethics for a conversation that challenges the very foundations of how we think, teach, and practice ethical medicine today.
Dr. Rajiv Ahluwalia, Dean Student Welfare, Santosh Deemed to be University, engages in a compelling dialogue with Prof. Dr. Russell D'Souza, Global Chair in Bioethics & Medical and Health Professions Education, Melbourne, Australia — spanning continents, cultures, and the conscience of modern healthcare.
In this Episode, we explore:
AI & The Ethics of Transparency: When Artificial Intelligence plays a role in a patient's diagnosis or treatment — does the patient have the right to know? What is the ethical responsibility of the consulting physician in the age of AI-assisted care?
Can Ethics Be Taught — Or Is It Inherited? Are morals and ethical values something that can be instilled through medical education — or are they deeply rooted in family upbringing and personal values? A question that strikes at the heart of medical training.
Systemic Failures vs. Individual Decisions: When ethical dilemmas arise in healthcare — are they a result of broken systems and institutional failures, or do they come down to the choices made by individuals? Where does responsibility truly lie?
A Universal Global Ethical Standard — Possible or Practical? With vastly different social, cultural, and regional contexts across the world — can there ever be one universal code of medical ethics? Or must ethical standards be adapted to local realities?
Do We Have a Global Ethical Index? Is there a measurable, comparable framework that evaluates ethical standards in healthcare across nations? The conversation ventures into uncharted territory.
A Message to the Future of Healthcare: The future belongs to young healthcare professionals. What wisdom do these two global thought leaders have for the next generation stepping into medicine?
