Fiction, science and science fiction. the role of literature in public debates on medical ethical issues and in the medical education.

Objective

Novels have deeply influenced their readers in thinking about all kinds of ethical dilemmas regarding health care, illness and the physician-patient relationship. The hypothesis underlying this proposal is that fiction (e.g. novels, film) has an important role to play in professional reflection and public debate on ethical problems in health care. Little systematic research into the role of fiction has been done in the EC so far. A multidisciplinary approach will lead to valuable results and, additionally, to an interesting network within the EC that can stimulate this important way of looking at medical ethical problems.
