Abstract
Ellen Fox and her colleagues (Fox, Myers and Pearlman 2007) have generated a rich set of data about ethics consultations in US hospitals that raise serious concerns about this mode of conflict resolution. Using the data they have collected, I want to highlight several issues that question the ethical legitimacy of the ethics consult service (ECS) model, and I want to argue that it may be time to replace ethics consultation with ethics mediation.
