Abstract

As developing countries build allopathic medical systems, what should their bioethics be? In this essay, we explore possible answers to this question, ultimately arguing that Western bioethics is insuffi cient to solve the problems that arise in the practice of allopathic medicine in non-Western contexts. As an example, the authors discuss recent confl icts over the use of mechanical ventilators in Thailand.
