self-governance, a self chosen path
self-rule that is free from both controlling interference by others and limitations that prevent
meaningful choice, such as inadequate self-chosen plan
one of the four principles of biomedical ethics by Beauchamp and Childress. (split level theory, three
condition theory by B&C)
The Bible
Religious text associated with Christianity; is the basis of Protestant ethics; sola scriptura
Balancing
when ethical principles/morals come into conflict, one must use balancing judgment to weigh the
relative strengths and prioritize one moral norm over another
Beneficence
Do good
concerns all forms of action intended to benefit other people; acts of mercy, kindness, charity
as a principle, it refers to a statement of moral obligation to act for the benefit of others
however, this principle risks becoming paternalism therefore it needs specification and balancing
against other principles --> risk occurs if taken at prima facie
Bioethics
the application of principles, rules, and values to science, medicine, and health care, whether directly
or through public policies
-integrally related to social ethics.
-an interdisciplinary and interprofessional
reflective activity
Casuistry
is case-based reasoning
Case studies offer a way to reflect on principles in order to resolve conflicts among them
Case studies provide additional context so that tensions among principles can be identified and
addressed.
, Still, moral regret or moral residue is common

argue that the principles misunderstand the social aspects of human relationships in medicine
used to organize critique B&C's principles
used by Keenan and Zoloth because they believe B&C place too much emphasis on autonomy

raising awareness and consciousness about how structures can cause injustice and inequality.
Consciousness raising
-Explains the process of coming to understand how social structures cause injustice
-Involves discovering that evil not only present in the hearts of powerful individuals who muck things
up for the rest of us but evil is embedded in the very structures of society
-Structures, not just individuals who work within them, must be changed if the world is to be changed
-Coming to realize the effects of structural sins in creating injustice
-Liberation theology uses the tool of social analysis to reveal the ways by which social structures cause
social misery; how structural sin cause inequality
Consent (explicit, informed, tacit, etc.)

Ensuring one agrees to receive a treatment/give a sample

a patient/subject must have full understanding of what their involvement entails, possible benefits
and harms, option to leave
-Understanding: proper wording should be used
-Consent must be by competent person and be completely voluntary
the quality of a patient's or subject's understanding and consent
Tacit Consent
occurs silently or passively through omissions
i.e. if the staff of a long-term care facility asks residents whether they object to having the time of
dinner changed by one hour, a uniform lack of objection constitutes consent (majority type deal)

is inferable from actions
providing general consent to treatment in a hospital may imply consent to various roles for
