DECISION MAKING
Everyday ethics: what is your approach?
FOR the past couple of years, In Practice has published an ethical
dilemma in each issue, giving readers the opportunity to consider and
contribute to the discussion of some of the ethical problems that can arise in
veterinary practice. As the old adage goes, `There's more than one way to skin
a cat', and, similarly, there is more than one way to approach an ethical
dilemma. To start the New Year, Alison Hanlon has devised a quiz to help
readers gain an insight into which approach they most closely align with.
Alison Hanlon is a senior lecturer in animal behaviour and welfare
at the School of Agriculture, Food Science and Veterinary Medicine, University
College Dublin, and has been teaching on the Bachelor in Veterinary Medicine
programme there since 1995. Her interests include animal welfare and food
ethics, and she is involved in research on dairy cow welfare, horse welfare
and attitudes towards animals.
