A special issue of Bioethics magazine, ‘Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Ethical and Policy Issues,’ was published in February, edited by Kevin Smith, David Colquhoun, Edzard Ernst and Wallace Sampson. Two articles in particular relate to our sector, ‘Alternative Medicine and the Ethics of Commerce’ and ‘Moral Legitimacy: The Struggle of Homeopathy in the NHS.’ These set the debate in a different academic field, with articles by authors with a business or management rather than a health background.
