Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
I recently had a student pose this question to me after class (virtually). It did not take me long to answer, my response was “only in very limited circumstances”. Allow me to explain why. When I think of healthcare ethics the frame of reference, I use is Beauchamp and Childress, Principles of Biomedical Ethics.
