Abstract:
This paper attempts to utilise clinical
scenarios where ethical issues are embedded and requires
appropriate application of the steps of the framework
mentioned. A step by step sequential approach is adopted
to illustrate how the ‘ethical decision model ‘can be
used to resolve ethical problems to arrive at a reasonable
conclusion. The UNESCO ethical method of reasoning
is used as the framework for decision making. Physicianeducators
should be competent to use ethical decision
models as well as best available scientific evidence to be
able to arrive at the best decision for patient care as well
as teach health professional trainees how reasonable
treatment decisions can be made within the perimeter
of medical law and social justice.
