چکیده
The history of medical ethics has provided, at various junctures, focus on major principles such as justice, fidelity,autonomy, beneficence, etc. When deontological (rule-based) perspectives received competition from utilitarian (results-based) methods of analysis in the 19th century, changes in emphasis helped pave the way for ethical assessment of theDarwinian, Mendelian, Freudian and Einsteinian revolutions. Modern frameworks in medical ethics have returned toprincipalism (which has its roots in the ancient Greek philosophical tradition that directs our attention to the Good, theTrue and the Beautiful). This in turn has conditioned much of the underpinning of genetics counseling, with emphaseson justice, beneficence and autonomy. The recent opening up of oncogenetics offers an opportunity to revisit theinsights of the past and refine them for clinical oncology settings. There are important problems and issues which arisein several contexts: intrafamilial dynamics, economic concerns, professional qualifications, research settings, and mostrecently reproductive decision-making.
