Description

Beneficence is the fundamental principle of medical ethics, focusing all medical decisions on the best interests of the patient. In a society where individual rights are often prioritized over obligations, this core concept can become obscured or confused with paternalism. This book from Oxford University Press works to rejuvenate and redevelop the notion of beneficence as a primary guiding principle within medical ethics. The authors provide a deep examination of the concept of "patient good" through both philosophical and practical viewpoints. This text serves as an essential resource for understanding how to balance medical actions with the duty to do what is right and good for those in care. It offers a necessary perspective for anyone studying the ethics of medicine and the evolving responsibilities of healthcare providers.
