infection and disease.
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY
SYNDROME

- ideally requires health care organizations and health plans to provide to
individual recipients the care and services that each is due.

FOUR PRINCIPLES OF MORAL DISCERNMENT/ JUDGMENT
- Principle of Formal Cooperation
- Principle of Material Cooperation
- Principle of Lesser Evil
- Principle of Double Effect
A principle defined as occurs when someone intentionally helps another person carry outa sinful act.
Principle of Formal Cooperation
A principle defined as when a person’s actions unintentionally help another person do something wrong.
Principle of Material Cooperation
A principle defined as when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the one which is least immoral should be chosen.
Principle of Lesser Evil
A principle defined as aims to provide specific guidelines for determining when it is morally permissible to perform an
action in pursuit of a good end in full knowledge that the action will also
bring about bad results.
Principle of Double Effect
the act by which we apply to our own conduct our knowledge of
good and evil, whether our judgment be correct or incorrect.
Conscience
▪indicates that people are obligated to inform themselves
about ethical norms, incorporate that knowledge into their
daily lives, act according to that knowledge, and take
responsibility for those actions.
Principle of well-formed conscience
a dilemma in medical decisions:
Who has the knowledge both of the
ethical norms and of the medical facts to make a responsible decision? And
how are these norms and facts to be related to each other? This dilemma
requires a discussion of the problem of developing a well-formed
conscience.
Principle of well-formed conscience:
To attain the true goals of human life, all persons are morally
obliged in every free decision involving an ethical question to:
- Inform themselves as adequately as possible about the relevant
facts and ethical norms. - Form a morally certain judgment of conscience on the basis of
this information. - Act according to this well-informed conscience.
- Accept responsibility for their own actions.
Developing a well-formed conscience with ______________ demands caution as to the possible harmful side
effects we foresee resulting from our good actions. Since it is not
possible to avoid all harmful side effects and at the same time to
fulfill our obligations to do the good from which they result, we
need a principle to guide us in such dilemmas.

During World War II, Nazi doctors

subjects from
enduring the kind of

at concentration
camps.
Nuremberg Code
The 10 elements of the
Nuremberg code
- Voluntary consent is essential
- The results of any experiment must be for the greater good of
society - Human experiments should be based on previous animal
experimentation - Experiments should be conducted by avoiding physical/mental
suffering and injury - No experiments should be conducted if it is believed to cause
death/disability - The risks should never exceed the benefits
- Adequate facilities should be used to protect subjects
- Experiments should be conducted only by qualified scientists
- Subjects should be able to end their participation at any time
- The scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the
experiment when injury, disability, or death is likely to occur
▪ This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give
consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of
choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit,
duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion;
▪ and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the
elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an
understanding and enlightened decision
Voluntary consent is essential
unprocurable by other
methods or means of study, and not random and
unnecessary in nature.
The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society
other problem under study that the anticipated results will
justify the performance of the experiment.
The experiment should be so designed and based on
the results of animal experimentation and a
knowledge of the natural history of the disease
to avoid all
unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
The experiment should be so conducted
perhaps,
in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as
subjects.
No experiment should be conducted where there is a priori reason
to believe that death or disabling injury will occur
determined
by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the
experiment.
The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed
protect the experimental subject against even remote
possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities
provided
The highest degree of skill and care should be required through
all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the
experiment
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified
persons.
if he has reached the physical or
mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be
impossible.
The course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty
to bring the experiment to an end
if he has probable
cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and
careful judgment required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is
likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
The course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be
prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage

Association that provides ethical guidelines that physicians
