Medical Ethics - 4 Pillars

The Four Pillars of Medical Ethics 

1. Beneficence (Doing Good)
   Example: You see a classmate drop their books in the hallway, so you stop to help them pick everything up.
   
   

2. Non-maleficence (Do No Harm)
   Example: Your friend wants to copy your homework, but you say no because you know it could get both of you in trouble.
   
   

3. Autonomy (Respecting the Right to Choose)
   Example: A friend asks for your opinion on what outfit to wear, you give advice, but you let them pick what they feel best in.
   
   

4. Justice (Being Fair)
   Example: You’re sharing a pizza with friends, so you make sure everyone gets the same number of slices.
