Abstract

The article discusses the codes of medical ethics which are adopted in Canada. These acts are not ‘classical’ normative-legal acts, since they are adopted not by legislative bodies, but rather by medical associations, and are aimed at providing rules on the professional conduct of physicians and auxiliary medical personnel; occasionally, they also feature the rules concerning the rights and duties of patients. The article’s sources include the codes of medical ethics adopted in Canada, Canadian court judgments, and academic literature.
