Description
In the continuously changing healthcare environment, the ethical aspects of clinical practice, public health, and medical decision -making have become increasingly multifaceted. Bioethics is a critical tool for meeting these challenges, providing not only guidance on what healthcare professionals should do but also on why such actions are important for individuals, communities, and society as a whole. This anthology probes seminal bioethical principles —stewardship, totality, double effect, cooperation, and solidarity—that have for centuries determined the moral tone of healthcare systems worldwide. These principles demand wise use of resources, safeguarding of human dignity, proportional care choices, respectful involvement in morally complicated circumstances, and collaborative work towards social justice. By combining classical ethical instruction with modern application, this text presents a balanced perspective of how timeless moral values continue to be applicable in addressing the ethical concerns of today’s healthcare settings.
