Medical Ethics

Abstract: A 6 page paper that discusses medical ethics in general and beneficence or doing good in particular. The thesis is that health care professionals should be concerned exclusively with doing as much good as possible. Five ethical principles are identified and explained. The fact that one is often at odds with another is also discussed, such as beneficence and nonmaleficence or autonomy and beneficence. The writer concludes that doing as much good as is possible is not an easy principle to live by. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
