Q: While undoubtably notable in the realm of politics, was the Terri Schiavo case really notable in the realm of medical ethics? Were not the medical ethics involved already long established? 204.128.230.1 (talk) 23:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
May I suggest that Gillick competence be added to this list? Colds7ream (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Should the header be "Legal cases in medical ethics"? Although many have, not every case (to my knowledge) has been in the courts. I'm not sure that Rom Houben would qualify under that header. That is a case where legal proceedings had little, if any, impact on the ethical issues. How would Timothy Quill (a notable case not on Wikipedia) fall in since he was investigated but never charged? At the moment, I think it would be best to just call it "Cases in medical ethics". At some point, the list might be divided into "Doctors", "Patients" and "Case law", but I think that is premature given the current list length.Novangelis (talk) 21:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Sun Hudson's case wasn't an assisted suicide, since Hudson himself expressed nothing regarding his own wishes. Can this entry be moved to a more appropriate category? 71.62.157.188 (talk) 09:26, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
The Christiane Völling case considered issues of valid consent and disclosure in a case of an intersex woman subject to involuntary sex reassignment.[1] It raises bioethical issues, but does not fit into existing categories. Can it be added in a new section? Thanks. Trankuility (talk) 03:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I feel the David Reimer case deserves to be added here. It's a notable case and fairly relevant to current issues. > RUL3R>trolling>vandalism 21:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
