Medical Ethics -frameworks What’s it all about? Dr Hasna Begum

Ethics A subfield of philosophy Aims to clarify the nature of Right and wrong Good and bad Clarifies justification of ethical ideas Tells us how we ought to behave

Why bother with it Helps us with difficult decisions / ethical dilemmas Helps you understand other people’s view point Helps you understand your own view point

Major theories Deontology and utilitarianism Four principles Rights based ethics Virtue ethics

Deontology – the science of duty The morality of an action is intrinsic to the action itself rather than the consequences e.g. Killing is bad because the act of killing is wrong, regardless of the outcome Any rule that applies to you should apply to everyone – and no one should be treated as the means to an end (Kant)

Utilitarianism – maximising benefit People should act in a way that will bring about the best possible outcomes overall “The greatest happiness of the greatest number” Whether an action is right or wrong depends on the outcome

Four Principles – the Dr’s aid Respect for autonomy – let people decide for themselves Non-maleficence – do no harm Beneficence – do good Justice – be equitable

Rights – giving people their due People have justified claims on others and society. Rights can be: Universal (apply to everybody) eg the right to be free Special moral rights (apply to some and not others) eg if Peter lends Tom money, Peter has a right to be paid by Tom Positive (the right to receive particular goods/services) eg to receive free emergency health care Negative (the right to be free from certain actions by others) eg to refuse immunisation

Virtue Ethics Focuses on the person carrying out the action rather than the action itself Importance of the virtues of the individual - good character, conscience and integrity Certain virtues can be attached to professional roles eg doctor’s role Perceived to be good = praiseworthy Perceived to be bad = blameworthy

Now Try putting it into practice Have fun!
