When
posed
with
a
very
dicult
ethical
dilemma
there
are
4
cornerstones,
that
if
answered
one
by
one,
should
point
you
to
the
correct
answer.
It
can
be
helpful
to
think
and
quote
these
when
unsure
of
how
to
construct
an
answer
to
a
dicult
ethical
ques3on.

i.e.
Doctor,
I
do
not
want
you
to
operate
on
me,
even
though
I
might
die
as
a
consequence.

These
an<bio<cs
will
treat
your
infec<on
and
make
you
feel
beAer.
First,
do
no
harm!
It
can
be
considered
bePer
to
not
harm
your
pa3ent,
then
to
do
them
good.
Lots
of
medical
treatments
have
side
eects
which
can
make
treatment
a
balance
of
pros
and
cons.

i.e.
Im
sorry
but
we
do
not
want
to
operate
on
your
hip
fracture
because
we
believe
your
heart
will
not
cope
with
the
strain
of
the
anesthesia
and
you
may
not
survive
the
opera<on.
Jus3ce
The
posi3ves
and
nega3ves
of
treatments
must
be
equally
shared
across
society.
This
involves
fair
distribu3on
of
NHS
resources,
and
trea3ng
those
that
need
it
most.
i.e
the
NHS
will
only
fund
3
rounds
of
IVF
before
a
couple
has
to
pay
for
it
privately.
Although
not
part
of
the
big
4
it
is
also
worth
no3ng
what
the
law
states
about
the
main
medical
ethics.
It
can
be
very
useful
and
impressive
to
quote
the
legal
stance
of
the
UK
when
answering
a
dicult
ethical
ques3on.
