This paper explains four
principles which health care practitioners must consider when faced with a dilemma. They are A)
autonomy, B) beneficiency, C) non-maleficence, and 4) justice. The author defines autonomy as the independence to determine one's own direction, conditioned only by the need to respect others' individual liberties. Beneficence is the righteous philosophy of doing good, while non-maleficence adds the condition that no harm should be done. Justice, the quality which creates the most controversy, may be defined as fair, just, equitable, and unbiased
decision making. Introduction Morality And Ethics: What are they and Why do they Matter? All You Need to Know about Ethics Approaches and Theories Means, Ends,
