"The Principles of Biomedical Ethics"

"The Principles of Biomedical Ethics," authored by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress, outlines four key ethical principles that guide medical practice: autonomy (respecting patients' rights to make their own decisions), beneficence (acting in the best interest of patients), non-maleficence (avoiding harm), and justice (ensuring fairness in treatment and access to care). These principles help healthcare professionals navigate complex ethical dilemmas, balancing individual rights with societal responsibilities, and promoting ethical decision-making in a healthcare setting. Together, they provide a framework for understanding and addressing moral challenges in biomedical ethics.
