Abstract

This paper addresses the ethics of the prosecution of nurse RaDonda Vaught for a medication error that led to the death of her patient. It is argued that the prosecution of Ms. Vaught was wrong; however, in contrast to some commentators, it is argued that the wrongness of Ms. Vaught's prosecution did not stem from its effects on patient safety, but from the fact that the charges, in this case, were legally and ethically unjustified in themselves.

对拉东达·沃特的起诉:一个道德和法律上的错误。

本文论述了护士RaDonda Vaught因用药失误导致病人死亡的起诉伦理。有人认为，对沃特的起诉是错误的;然而，与一些评论家的观点相反，有人认为，对沃特女士的起诉的错误并非源于其对患者安全的影响，而是源于这样一个事实，即在这种情况下，这些指控本身在法律和道德上都是不合理的。
