Discussion: Health promotion can appear ?obviously desirable? but this is an illusion. The inevitable contestability of health promotion?s goals and methods is demonstrated. So what?: Health promoters should explore and debate their ethical preferences in order to develop substantial theories of health promotion?s purpose. (author abstract)

Efforts to ensure that dignity has a central place in health care discourse and practice continue, but what appears to be lacking in the literature is the perspective of older people and their relatives on what this means and how dignity is maintained or diminished during health care provision. This article reports on a small pilot study that explores dignity in health care and the circumstances that may influence it.

A violation of women's rights? An empowering ritual? A crime? The practice described by L.A. Briggs [1] is notoriously difficult for westerners to come to terms with. We tend to want both to support women's rights not to be maltreated and also to respect the practices of other cultures-but we can't have it both ways. Alternatives If we start with the question 'should we try to stop these operations?' then we have three alternative answers:

But whenever any philosopher tries to apply philosophy to do so, she always seems to fail. Why is it so difficult to convert intelligent and logical deliberation about human problems into practical solutions? Can philosophy do anything to make the world a better place? These are not questions that should be quietly put to one side. Although there is, at the moment, considerable interest in ethics applied to nursing, business and the environment-and there is even a view abroad that 'medicine has saved the life of ethics'l-this should not be cause for complacency amongst philosophers. Despite what some would like to believe, the world has not calmly decided to seek the wisdom of philosopher kings. Rather people have naively, perhaps desperately, decided that human affairs-which have been consistently brutal since recorded history-ought to be more ethical, that philosophers know what 'being more ethical' means, and that it is therefore time for philosophers to tell us how to behave.
