- 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

- 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.
