Abstract

Healthcare professionals often need to make clinical decisions that carry profound ethical implications. As such, they require a tool that will make decision-making intuitive. While the discussion about the principles that should guide clinical ethics has been going on for over two thousand years, it does not seem that making such decisions is becoming any more straight forward. With an abundance of competing ethical systems and frameworks for their application in real life, the clinician is still often not sure how to proceed in the face of ethical dilemmas, either due to a lack of background ethical knowledge or experience in applying it. This paper will discuss whether considering what one would expect one's friend to do if one was the patient, or what would one think they would do for a friend if they were the patient, can be a helpful, more intuitive, tool for clinical decision-making that can produce outcomes that are congruent with major ethical systems.

友谊作为解决临床伦理困境的框架。
医疗保健专业人员经常需要做出具有深刻伦理意义的临床决策。因此,他们需要一个工具,使决策直观。虽然关于指导临床伦理学的原则的讨论已经持续了两千多年,但做出这样的决定似乎并没有变得更加直截了当。由于在现实生活中应用了大量相互竞争的伦理体系和框架,临床医生仍然经常不确定如何在面对伦理困境时进行,这要么是由于缺乏背景伦理知识,要么是由于缺乏应用伦理知识的经验。本文将讨论,如果一个人是病人,他会期望他的朋友做什么,或者如果他们是病人,他会认为他们会为朋友做什么,这是否可以成为一种有用的、更直观的临床决策工具,从而产生与主要伦理体系一致的结果。
