|
Combined Ethical Thinking (CET) brings together ideas from many different forms of ethics, which individually each have faults that means they could not be used exclusively alone, and uses them to form the basis of ethical codes such as for medical ethics. The key aspects are as follows: - * A respect for all human persons as an autonomous individual with value and dignity - this has its basis in deontological ethics. * Careful consideration of outcomes, aiming for a choice that will do the greatest good or the least harm - an idea from Consequentialism * Examination of underlying motives and the benefactors of the action - from Virtue Ethics. * Looking at the duties of the individual to society - their social contract * Fairness for all members of society, or justice. |
