SUMMARY
Medical ethics applies ethical reasoning to medical decision making. It is primarily concerned with the critical reflection about “what ought or ought not to be done” within the context of medical practice. Medical ethics often involves the search for the morally acceptable solutions in situations where different moral concerns, interests and priorities conflict. Before taking any medical decision, a careful assessment of the situation—alongside relevant concerns and interests, should be taken into full consideration. Medical ethics is concerned with the process through which a moral decision was reached in the practice of medicine.
The term “medical ethics” refers to the traditional views of the subject as ‘the standards of professional competence and conduct which the medical profession expects of its members.’ Even when these moral principles for health care professionals are clearly enunciated in professional ethical guidelines, there is the challenge for them in applying these ethical principles, especially in conflicting situations that requires them to make sound and urgent decisions in their professional interactions with Patient's.
