    PRINCIPLES OF
    BIOETHICS
    1.Principle of respect for autonomy,
    2.Principle of nonmaleficence,
    3.Principle of beneficence, and
    4.Principle of justice.
    How do
    principles “apply”
    to a certain case?
    1. Respect for Autonomy
    -Any notion of moral decision-making
    assumes that rational agents are
    involved in making informed and
    voluntary decisions.
    What is informed
    Consent?
    Is it ever
    acceptable not to
    have a full
    informed
    consent?
    Exception to full informed
    consent are:
    • If the patient does not have decision-making capacity
    • A lack of decision-making capacity with inadequate time
    to find an appropriate proxy without harming the patient
    • When the patient waived a consent
    • When a competent patient designates a trusted loved-one
    to make treatment decisions for him or her
    What should occur if
    the patient cannot
    give informed
    consent?
    How does informed
    consent apply to
    children?
    2. The principle of
    Nonmaleficence
    -requires of us that we should not
    intentionally create a harm or injury to
    the patient, either through acts of
    commission or omission.
    When it is justifiable
    to discontinue life-
    sustaining
    treatments?
    3. Principle of Beneficence
    - Health care providers have a duty to be of a
    benefit to the patient, as well as to take
    positive steps to prevent and to remove harm
    from the patient.
    4. Principle of Justice
    - Defined as a form of fairness
