Niels A. Lassen – klinisk fysiolog og neuroforsker i verdensklasse
Af Jens H. Henriksen & Anders Lassen
Bibl Læger 2019;211:196-223.
Niels A. Lassen (1926-1997) was a Danish physician and a highly successful neuro-researcher in the last half of the twentieth century. In addition to determining cerebral blood flow, regional cerebral function, brain mapping and functional brain imaging, he contributed substantially to circulatory, pulmonary and renal physiology, pathophysiology and clinical physiology – not to mention kinetic theory, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging techniques. His achievements were obtained by a combination of extraordinary experimental skills, biological intuition, mathematical intelligence and hard work. Modern bibliometric analysis has confirmed Niels A. Lassen’s unique and lasting contribution to several biomedical research fields.

Retten til liv

With recent changes in abortion laws in countries such as the USA and Norway, the debates surrounding the ethics of abortion have gained renewed energy. In this article, we investigate a well-known habitué in these debates, namely the right to life. While the controversy often focuses on who has the right to life, there has been less attention to the question of what such a right actually might entail. One famous approach to this question is Judith Jarvis Thomson’s seminal 1971 article “In defence of abortion”. We present Thomson’s discussion of the meaning of a right to life, and with her we conclude that even if a foetus’ right to life is granted, it does not necessarily follow that the foetus has a right to be carried to term.

At praktisere i det grænseløse
Af Rikke Sand Andersen
Bibl Læger 2019;211:272-87.
This article discusses how Danish general practitioners respond to contemporary transformations of medical practice – particularly, the continually expanding boundaries of what constitute biomedical entities and subjects. Three subject positions are described. The three types differ in the ways they define the role of modern medicine: “the population doctor”, “the relationship doctor” and “the healer”. The differences between these three subject positions are manifested in their approaches to contemporary forms of efficiency, standardisation and medical classifications. The population doctor most clearly embodies modern medicine and its engagements with technological and bureaucratic spheres. For the relationship doctor, bureaucratic control restricts autonomy and hampers the quality of patient-related work. The healer is inspired by complementary medicine and he or she is critical towards what is considered to be a reductionistic understanding of – and approach to – the human body and its illnesses. The relationship doctor and the healer both seek to rehabilitate healing processes, which have seemingly vanished in modern medicine. The three subject positions illustrate the ambivalence surrounding the progress of modern medicine, and they may form the basis for a discussion about general medicine, i.e. what it is and what it should strive to become in the future.
