In this paper, I start by suggesting a new definition of empathy. I go on by answering the question of "Who feels empathy?". I list some examples of people, illustrating how the level of feeling empathy differs from one category of people to another. It's actually almost everybody who feels empathy: the baby, the good Samaritan and the other two pr...

Further, it may result in unethical decision-making because some individuals may have a greater automatic capacity for emotional sharing under certain circumstances than others (Doherty et al. 1995), which makes decisions based on this type of empathy, unstable. For example, our own emotional states may influence how we perceive the states of others, which may confuse our own feelings with theirs (Parkinson and Simons 2009); however, we note the importance of affective states in ethical decision-making and support Challita's (2016) evaluation that affective empathy may motivate us towards ethical and compassionate action only once we have perceived, through cognitive effort, the state of the other. To begin this empathetic process of compassionate action, however, the initial step of consciously taking the perspective of another, or reflective empathy, is an important prerequisite (Decety and Cowell 2014;Persson and Savulescu 2018). ...
... Histology has been used to obtain more accurate results when studying the gonadal development in skinks (e.g. Towns 1975, Zug et al. 1982, Guillette 1983, Traut 1994, Vrcibradic & Rocha 2002, Goldberg 2008, 2013, Goldberg & Kraus 2010, 2012, Goldberg & Austin 2012, Nassar et al. 2013. Göcmen et al. (1996) provided some data on gonadal development of the congener Ablepharus budaki Göcmen, Kumlutas & Tosunoglu, 1996 based on dissected specimens. ...

... Guaranteeing a patient's physical health and well-being is a widespread value among physicians and nurses. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The responses to these needs are opportunities for HCPs to reflect on their own work, vulnerability, and on the effects of their actions not only on patients or patients' families, but also on their own selves. [9][10][11][12] Religious beliefs may be held as vital to those who console, but the act of consoling is not a form of religious or spiritual practice in its own right. ...
