“…Designated coercion is aimed at a certain individual who rebels against the discriminatory norm. This type of coercion is not aimed at convincing the entire cultural group of an irrefutable truth; instead it is a focused pressure on certain targeted individuals who seem to go astray from their community (Cohen-Almagor 2006).…”

The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and cædere (meaning "to cut"). Cultural and religious justifications are employed to convince members of the community as well as outsiders that circumcision is reasonable and just. The purpose of the discussion is to suggest some cardinal changes to the practice of male circumcision in order to make it more humane and less painful to its subjects. Balancing between group rights and the rights of the child, it is essential to avoid unnecessary suffering. It is one of the liberal state’s obligations to protect the best interests of vulnerable third parties. The article opens with some preliminary data about male circumcision and then explains its importance in Judaism. It examines the medical reasons for male circumcision and the risks involved in the practice; subsequently, it discusses the critique of male circumcision. The article also highlights the points of agreement and disagreement between those supporting and opposing the ritual and insists that male circumcision should be performed by using anaesthesia. The final part of the article includes a proposal for humane male circumcision that considers religious sentiments and the rights of the child, aiming to strike a reasonable balance between competing interests. I hope the proposal will be debated in parliaments in the western world.

“…For example, we can say of a policeman caught stealing that his/her professional and moral integrity is compromised. In the context of moral conflict, compromise has indeed been argued to be particularly problematic [ 11 , 24 ]. One’s moral values or moral beliefs are claimed to be unsuited for negotiations or concessions.…”

In Defence of Moral Pluralism and Compromise in Health Care Networks

The organisation of health care is rapidly changing. There is a trend to move away from individual health care institutions towards transmural integrated care and interorganizational collaboration in networks. However, within such collaboration and network there is often likely to be a pluralism of values as different health care institutions often have very different values. For this paper, we examine three different models of how we believe institutions can come to collaborate in networks, and thus reap the potential benefits of such collaboration, despite having different moral beliefs or values. A first way is the pragmatic way in which the different health care institutions avoid ethical reflection and focus on solutions. A second possible route is that of consensus where health care institutions base their collaboration on values that they all share. The third, and final, approach is that of compromise. Although moral compromise is often seen in a negative light, we argue that in many cases compromise might be necessary and ethically justified. In a final section, we will shift our focus from discussing various theoretical methods to allow collaboration to the potential content of consensus or compromise.

“…Seuls sont justifiés les moyens les moins coercitifs (O'Brien et Golding, 2003). Ainsi, la coercition n'est pas une pratique en soi malfaisante (Cohen-Almagor, 2006). Par contre, si à court terme, une action coercitive peut être justifiée par ses bénéfices, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'une telle action possède aussi un impact iatrogénique (Davidson et Campbell, 2007 ;Swartz et Monahan, 2001).…”

La relation entre les intervenants en milieu de soins et leurs clients est souvent le lieu de profondes incompréhensions et de tensions entre les valeurs de liberté et de sécurité. Cela est particulièrement perceptible dans la relation avec les personnes souffrant de problèmes de santé mentale et d’abus de substances. Le but de cet article est de fournir des pistes de réflexion sur les enjeux éthiques qui se présentent à l’intérieur du programme de suivi intensif dans la communauté autour de la coercition et des conduites abusives de consommation. Les principes de base qui organisent le suivi intensif dans la communauté sont fondés sur les concepts éthiques d’égalité, de respect et de recherche commune de la vérité. Chaque personne est susceptible d’avoir la sagesse de sa propre vie et les habiletés pour gérer ses propres expériences. Il s’agit de créer un espace respectueux de réflexion, qui permet un dialogue entre les différentes perspectives, afin de concilier diverses préférences. Les interventions doivent être discutées avec le client, car celui-ci est au coeur de la prise de décision. Le cadre souple du suivi intensif, en regard de la complexité de la clientèle avec une double problématique, permet d’intervenir en respectant le rythme du client dans le processus de rétablissement et dans le changement de ses habitudes de vie.
