In this chapter of Complex Ethics Consultations: Cases that Haunt Us, the author addresses the unassailable, sometimes unmentionable, common thread of deep-seated values and cultural or religious beliefs that serve as a core set of values that can define and certainly do surround us. In bioethics consultations, the process often serves as a deep dive into what is deeply embedded at the center of our behaviors, uncovering cultural, religious, or even family-held norms that underlie our individual sense of place and identity in the world around us. As ill health and disease destroy patients’ sense of autonomy and self-reliance, our core values become more apparent, and we cling more to them in efforts to exercise our will. This fact alone makes the reflection of these core values essential within ethics consultation process because they are defining for many of us. The commentary takes a deep dive into the chapter’s four haunting ethics cases centered around culture and religion and the ethical challenges that they reflect.
