Richard Huxtable (born 1974) is the Deputy Director and Professor in Medical Ethics and Law at the Centre for Ethics in Medicine, at the University of Bristol.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Appointments in SSCM )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dr Richard Huxtable )〕 He is known principally for his work on legal and ethical issues in end-of-life decision-making and euthanasia, surgery and paediatrics and is the author of a number of books on these themes; ''Law, Ethics and Compromise at the Limits of Life: To Treat or Not to Treat?'' (2012), ''Euthanasia, Ethics and the Law: From Conflict to Compromise'' (2007) and (with Dickenson & Parker) ''The Cambridge Medical Ethics Workbook'' (CUP, 2nd edn, 2010). He has also produced numerous chapters, and articles for both academic journals and mainstream newspapers. Huxtable is best known for his controversial position on the role of "principled compromise" in responding to conflict over the care of a critically ill, incapacitated patient. Huxtable has argued that the law governing both the welfare (or "best interests") of the patient and any wishes they might have conveyed, via an "advance directive" or through the appointment of a "lasting power of attorney", frequently fail to furnish clinicians and families with the guidance they require in these difficult cases. He has proposed that there is a case for "principled compromise" here, and has argued for greater ethical engagement, through a reinvigorated system of clinical ethics support, in which committees work alongside the courts to resolve the conflicts that can arise at the limits of life. == Education and career == Born and educated in South Wales, Richard Huxtable studied Law at Nottingham University before completing a PhD on Assisted Dying and English Law at the University of Bristol, where he now teaches. He has held visiting positions at the Ethox Centre in the University of Oxford,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Visiting Researchers )〕 the Centre for Biomedical Ethics in the National University of Singapore〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Visiting Staff & Consultants )〕 and the Hastings Center, New York.〔 A long-standing participant in clinical ethics consultation, Huxtable is a member of the UHBT Clinical Ethics Advisory Group〔 and a Trustee of both the UK Clinical Ethics Network〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Board of Trustees )〕 and of the National Council for Palliative Care.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trustees )〕 His research has been funded by organisations including the Wellcome Trust and the European Commission〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/people/richard-huxtable/research.html )〕 and he has given invited presentations at the Royal Society of Medicine〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Is the Principle of Double Effect Still Relevant in End of Life Care? )〕 and the Royal College of Surgeons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seminar Report )〕 He has given expert evidence to The Commission on Assisted Dying which was run by the UK think tank Demos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Commission on Assisted Dying )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Huxtable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
