Four Principles of Bioethics

The Four Principles of Bioethics are: 1. Respect for Autonomy — honoring individuals’ rights to make their own health decisions. 2. Nonmaleficence — avoiding causing harm to patients. 3. Beneficence — actively promoting good and acting in patients' best interests. 4. Justice — ensuring fair distribution of healthcare resources and treatments. These principles guide healthcare providers in making ethical choices by balancing respect for individuals, doing no harm, doing good, and fairness. They help navigate complex medical situations with integrity and care.
