Q

What are ethics?

A

Not right or wrong (better or worse)
What is the best for the pt
the distinction of right from wrong on the basis of a body of knowledge, not just on the basis of opinions
道徳が個人や家族などの小集団に用いられることが多いのに対し、倫理は個々人の関係から社会に至るまでより広範に用いられることが多いようです。 そのため、道徳は日常生活における行動の基準にはなっても、医療現場における治療の方向性などの判断基準にはなり得ないことが多いと言われています。
