    Study Notes

    Ethics: Branches and Reflections

    • Ethics engages questions of right and wrong, good and bad, and is concerned with the criteria for determining 'good' and 'right'.
    • Reflection 1: Religious practices such as human/animal sacrifice can be considered religious but unethical.
    • Reflection 2: Honesty in dealings with others can be both ethical and religious.
    • Reflection 3: Hiding Jews in Germany during WWII can be considered illegal but ethical.
    • Reflection 4: First-degree murder can be considered unethical and illegal.

    Branches of Ethics

    • Metaethics: examines the meaning of ethical terms and the nature of moral discourse.
    • Normative Ethics: studies ethical actions and evaluates moral standards or theories that regulate these actions.
    • Applied Ethics: applies ethical theories to address real-life issues such as abortion, euthanasia, war, and punishment.

    Ethics Discussion Question 1

    • Agya Bentum's religious persuasion abhors blood transfusions, but doctors believe he would die without a transfusion; the dilemma is whether to respect his autonomy or prioritize beneficence and non-maleficence.

    Ethics and Morality

    • Ethics and morality are often used interchangeably, but ethics is concerned with principles of right and wrong, while morality is associated with prescriptions of right and wrong behavior in specific contexts.
    • Informed consent is an ethical requirement in medicine that ensures patients or their representatives understand the purpose, benefits, and risks of a treatment or research.
    • The process of informed consent involves disclosure, comprehension, analytical competence, and voluntary consent or refusal.
    • Patient autonomy is respected through informed consent, which upholds human dignity and freedom.
    • The care-giver's duty is to prioritize beneficence and non-maleficence while respecting patient autonomy.

    Dilemma

    • The ethical dilemma arises when balancing the need for informed consent with the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence, which can conflict with the patient's autonomy.
