Principles of Bioethics
The Principles of Bioethics are fundamental guidelines that help navigate ethical dilemmas in healthcare and biological research. These principles include autonomy, which respects individuals' rights to make their own choices; beneficence, which emphasizes the importance of doing good and promoting well-being; and non-maleficence, which focuses on avoiding harm to patients.
Another key principle is justice, which ensures fair distribution of healthcare resources and treatment. Together, these principles provide a framework for ethical decision-making in various contexts, including medical practice, research involving human subjects, and public health policies, ensuring that the rights and welfare of individuals are prioritized.
