Disgust and the Moral Community of Medicine
As one of the “moral emotions,” disgust has evolved from primitive responses to “poisons and parasites” and has been exapted to build cooperative, cohesive social groups of Us and at the same time distancing from Them. Can disgust be a useful moral emotion in supporting the Moral Community of medical practice?
