Abstract:
Reflecting on the historical responsibility of Chinese medical ethics at present, it is necessary to place oneself in the grand context of promoting the process of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Safety, development, and civilization constitute the three important ethical dimensions of a community with a shared future for mankind, which are not only ethical orientations, but also ethical appeals. These provide an important direction for Chinese medical ethics to deeply consider its role in the process of a community with a shared future for mankind. The historical responsibilities of Chinese medical ethics in the process of promoting a community with a shared future for mankind mainly include: confronting moral and interest issues, adhering to the patient-centered approach, and ensuring patients’ life safety; playing the role of ethical regulation, achieving the practical effects of medical ethics, and maintaining social security and stability; implementing the responsibility of medical ethics education, shaping medical professionalism, and promoting the development of healthy China; inheriting the excellent traditional culture, pursuing medical excellence and justice, and promoting the development of social morality; pursuing common health values, building a community with a shared future between doctors and patients, and promoting the progress of human. A global community of health for all provides the most direct practical platform for Chinese medical ethics to fulfill its historical responsibility in the process of building a community with a shared future for mankind. It directly promotes Chinese medical ethics to the world, and Chinese ethics facing the world will play an increasingly important influence in self-renewal.
