Four Principles

Captions available

The idea

The chapter uses four core principles of biomedical ethics — beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy and justice.

In practice

One decision weighed against all four rather than against whichever is convenient.

Where people slip

They are applied together and they can conflict. An action can serve one principle and offend another, which is what makes the judgement hard.
