  • Ethical Fundamentals Of CIA Bioethics

    To analyze the ethical components of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) use of a false of vaccination program to obtain information, one can used the four levels of moral discourse outlined in Robert M. Veatch’s The Basics of Bioethics.

  • The Ethics Of Informed Consent

    404 Words  | 2 Pages

    Informed consent is defined as the knowledgeable and voluntary agreement given by a patient. Informed consent protects patient autonomy and endorses trust between the medical community and the patient. If a patient knows that they are lied to, or not told the entire truth, the patient will lose confidence in the medical community as a whole (Eval, 2011). If this non-education does happen, then the patient will not be able to make choices about the end of their life, medially or financially (Piper, nd). Personal integrity is gained when informed consent is used, as the person is making their own choices, not having their family or others make choices on their behalf, when the patient is excluded for the education of the disease (Eval, 2011).

    1543 Words  | 7 Pages

    Ethical theories are ways of telling right from wrong and include guidelines of how to live and act in an ethical way. For example when faced with a difficult situation in your life, you can use ethical theories to assist you in making the right decision. One key theory is consequentialism, which says that an individual’s correct moral response is related to the outcome/ consequence of the act and not its intentions/ motives. Early writers on this theory were Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, a modern writer is Peter Singer. For example Brenda Grey has asked for the asthma specialist to visit her weekly, and to decide if this is necessary the professionals involved have to look at how it would affect her wellbeing.

    Ethical choices, both minor and major, confront us every day in the delivery of health care for persons with diverse values living in a varied and multicultural society. In the face of such diversity, healthcare providers must find moral action guides when there is confusion or conflict about what ought to be done. Such guidelines need to be broadly acceptable among the religious and the nonreligious and for persons across many different cultures. Due to the many variables that exist in the context of clinical cases as well as the fact that in health care there are several ethical principles that seem to be applicable in many situations these principles are not considered absolutes, but serve as powerful action guides in clinical medicine.
