    Study Notes

    Moral Philosophy

    • Kant's moral philosophy is a deontological normative theory, which rejects the utilitarian idea that the rightness of an action is a function of its outcome.
    • Moral value is determined by the motive (or means), not the consequence (or end), of an action.

    Human Acts

    • Human acts are those that proceed from deliberate free will.
    • For an act to be human, it must have knowledge and freedom.
    • Man knows what he is doing and freely chooses to do what he does.

    Virtue Ethics

    • Virtue ethics emphasizes the role of character and virtue in moral decision-making.
    • Virtue is the cornerstone of good nursing and the nurse with virtue will act according to principle.
    • 4 focal virtues in nursing: compassion, autonomy, and others.

    Ethical Principles

    • Autonomy: closely linked to the notion of respect for persons.
    • Principle of Double Effect: doing something morally good with a morally bad side effect is ethically okay if the bad effect wasn't intended.
    • Principle of Totality and Integrity: prioritize the good of the entire person, including physical, psychological, and spiritual factors.
    • Supporting Patients' Rights and Choices: respect patient autonomy, preserve and protect patient rights, and be knowledgeable about moral and legal rights.

    Bioethics

    • Christian ethics views human sexuality in the context of committed monogamous lifelong heterosexual Christian marriage.
    • Sexuality is only good insofar as it is open to procreation.
    • Husband and wife are considered in relation to each other.
    • Marriage License is a requirement before marriage.
