An ethicist is one whose judgment on ethics and ethical codes has come to be trusted by a specific community, and (importantly) is expressed in some way that makes it possible for others to mimic or approximate that judgement. Following the advice of ethicists is one means of acquiring knowledge (see argument from authority). The term jurist describes an ethicist whose judgment on law becomes part of a legal code, or otherwise has force of law. This may be due to formal (de jure) state sanction. Some jurists have less formal (de facto) backing by an ethical community, e.g. a religious community. In Islamic Law, for instance, such a community following (taqlid) a specific jurisprudence (fiqh) of shariah mimics judgment of a prior jurist. Catholic Canon Law has a similar structure. Such a jurist may be a theologian or simply a prominent teacher. To those outside this tradition, the jurist is simply an ethicist who they may more freely disagree with, and whose input on any issue is advisory. However, they may find it hard to avoid a fatwa or excommunication or other such shunning by the religious community, so it may be hard advice to ignore. Outside the legal professions and spiritual traditions, ethicists are usually considered to be either philosophers or more practical mediators of disputes. Indeed, views of ethics that are not deemed to be useful in resolving actual disputes are usually frowned upon as ideology. Modern ethicists often take the view that ethics is only about such resolution. The list of ethicists demonstrates the extreme range of people who have made, or contributed to, ethical debates. It also demonstrates that not all individuals who do so can be considered to be good moral examples by all. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What would you call a panel of doctors, scientists and ethicists? Q. who GUIDE you in making a decision on how to die in a way that won't burden your insurance company with your medical bills? the president: Exactly. And I just recently went through this. I mean, I ve told this story, maybe not publicly, but when my grandmother got very ill during the campaign, she got cancer; it was determined to be terminal. And about two or three weeks after her diagnosis she fell, broke her hip. It was determined that she might have had a mild stroke, which is what had precipitated the fall. So now she s in the hospital, and the doctor says, Look, you ve got about maybe you have three months, maybe you have six months, maybe you have nine months to live.

She is now 4-foot-5; her parents say she would otherwise probably reach a normal 5-foot-6. The case has captured attention nationwide and abroad via the Internet, with some decrying the parents' actions as perverse and akin to eugenics.

I think as long as it makes it easier for the parents to care for her, and give her the attention and interaction she deserves, then it's O.K. She's never going to have a normal life anyway, and they're the ones who love her most and take care of her, so who are we to judge?

Q. Please refer specifically to barack obama'S words in this interview: Read the excerpt yourself, but my question is: Why does Barack Obama talk about having a panel of "doctors, scientists, ethicists" to look at "the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here." Is Barack Obama referring to a death panel here? these are his words! Here is fuller excerpt: ~~~ the president: ... "Now, I actually think that the tougher issue around medical care it s a related one is what you do around things like end-of-life care" NYTimes - "Yes, where it s $20,000 for an extra week of life." the president: "Exactly.

In my opinion,I think it was pretty slick for him to use his Grandmother as an example,he's trying to make it personal,as in "we all have to face these decisions" And it enables him to do a little bit of a "soft sell" on the idea of rationing care for the Elderly in order to cut costs,when the time comes that they start doing that.After all,he "understands" how you feel since he's faced it himself,Right? Granted his Grandma got all the care she needed,but by questioning whether it was prudent,he still sets the stage. It will eventually lead to outright Euthanasia if we get the Health Care Plan he wants,because after a certain point in life your choice will be to die in agony from an illness that's deemed too expensive to treat at your… [cont.] Answered by Angel Of Death - Mon Aug 17 08:42:45 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Ethicists"
