Medical ethics experts grapple with cases that have no right answer

Original: 'No one right answer:' Exploring medicine's toughest ethical questions

Virginia Commonwealth University is spotlighting the hardest ethical dilemmas in medicine, where clinicians and bioethicists must weigh decisions that have no clearly correct outcome. The discussion covers questions such as end-of-life care, informed consent and resource allocation, emphasising the reasoning process behind difficult choices rather than a single answer, and prompting reflection on how medical ethics should be taught.

Why now: Medical schools and ethicists are increasingly highlighting how emerging medical challenges are forcing clinicians to confront decisions without definitive answers.
