Abstract
i have been given the privilege and opportunity of summing up one of the major ethical issues that has been thoroughly explored in this scholarly conference. can science and medicine retain or recover their ethical integrity? Let me start with a disclaimer: there are no easy answers to the dilemmas of unethical behaviour in contemporary medicine and science, and i certainly would not aspire to provide one. what i can offer, perhaps, is an international perspective on these troubling issues, issues that are by no means unique to india or to Asia, but are evident throughout the world. After briefly describing the range and depth of the problems, i shall offer a set of possible responses. However, how these might apply here in india will depend on both realism about what can be achieved and on the professional and political will to create genuine change. The prayer used by Alcoholics Anonymous perhaps applies here: we need “the serenity to accept the things we cannot change; the courage to change the things we can; and the wisdom to know the difference”.
