Cases

Our Framework

Ethos Medicina analyzes every case using a consistent set of guiding questions adapted from approaches commonly used by hospital ethics committees. Rather than searching for a single correct answer, each case is examined to understand how physicians make decisions when guidance is limited and ethical tension is unavoidable.

All cases follow the same five questions:
1. What is the clinical situation?
2. What are the ethical issues?
3. Who is affected?
4. What options exist?
5. What decision is ethically justifiable?

This framework reflects how ethical medical decisions are approached in real clinical settings, emphasizing judgment, responsibility, and clarity under uncertainty.
