| Summary: | The article focuses on the internal morality of medicine in the contexts of implicit religion and spirituality. It has been a widely held view that medicine is both an applied art and science. Ideally, it is the humanistic application of scientific and technical knowledge and skill for the benefit of people's health. This means that spirituality enriches the internal morality of medicine, and may be essential in the process of discerning what is the best interest of patients. It may also lessen the likelihood of erroneous overvaluation of patients' self-determination. |
