Medical Ethics Lecturer :Noha Alaggad

What is Ethics? Ethics is a system of moral principles. They affect how people make decisions and lead their lives. Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also described as moral philosophy.

Ethics Dilemmas Ethics covers the following dilemmas: how to live a good life our rights and responsibilities the language of right and wrong moral decisions - what is good and bad?

What is Medical Ethics? Medical ethics is a system of moral principles that apply values and judgments to the practice of medicine.

Basic principles of medical ethics A) respect for patient autonomy. b) not inflicting harm on patients. c) a positive duty to contribute to the welfare of patients . d) justice or fair treatment of patients.

Why Ethics Become Important? Nowadays, conflicts of interests between the government and medical institutions, between medical institutions and medical personnel, between physicians and patients are getting more and more serious and complex. High technologies not only brought us hopes of cure but have also created a heavy economic burden. The ethical dilemmas of high technology medicine-brain death, organ transplantation, and concerns about quality of life-have become increasingly prominent. A new and more specific code of ethics must be developed to meet the demands of social development and medical service. This new code integrates the traditional medical ethics with modern principles and values

Ethics and Morality What are they? The terms ethics and morality are often used interchangeably - indeed, they usually can mean the same thing, and in casual conversation there isn't a problem with switching between one and the other. However, there is a distinction between them in philosophy!

Ethics and Morality What are they? Ethics and morals both relate to “right” and “wrong” conduct. However, ethics refer to the series of rules provided to an individual by an external source. e.g. their profession. On the other hand, morals refer to an individual’s own principles regarding right and wrong.

Comparison chart Ethics Moral The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. It defines how thing are according to the rules. Principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct . It defines how things should work according to an individuals' ideals and principles.

Comparison chart Social system – External Why we do it? Moral Ethics Social system – External Why we do it? Because society says it is the right thing to do. What if we don't do it? We may face peer/societal disapproval, or even be fired from our job. Individual – internal Why we do it ? Because we believe in something being right or wrong. What if we don't do it? Doing something against one's morals and principles can have different effects on different people, they may feel uncomfortable, remorseندمان, depressed etc.

Ethics vs Laws 1. Ethics are rules of conduct. Laws are rules developed by governments in order to provide balance in society and protection to its citizens. 2. Ethics comes from people’s awareness of what is right and wrong. Laws are enforced by governments to its people.

Ethics vs Laws 3. Ethics are moral codes which every person must conform to. Laws are codifications of ethics meant to regulate society. 4. Ethics does not carry any punishment to anyone who violates it. The law will punish anyone who happens to violate it. 5. Ethics comes from within a person’s moral values. Laws are made with ethics as a guiding principle.

Section 2: Professional ethics, medical ethics, bioethics, clinical ethics

1.Professional Ethics Professional ethics are standards of conduct that apply to people who occupy a professional occupation or role. A person who enters a profession acquires ethical obligations because society trusts them to provide valuable goods and services that cannot be provided unless their conduct conforms to certain standards. Professionals who fail to live up to their ethical obligations betray this trust. Professional ethics studied by ethicists include medical ethics.

2.Medical ethics Medical ethics Concerns issues related to practice of medicine Explores and promotes principles guiding conduct of health care professionals Involves the consideration of others in deciding how to act It is applied ethics. It consists of the same moral principles and rules that we would appeal to ,and argue for, in ordinary circumstances.

3.Bioethics Bioethics could be defined as the study of ethical issues and decision-making associated with the use of living organisms Bioethics includes medical ethics. Bioethics is learning how to balance different benefits, risks and duties.

4- Clinical medical ethics is a practical and applied discipline that aims to improve patient care and patient outcomes by focusing on reaching a right and good decision in individual cases.
