Principlism
Principlism is often referred to as the "four-principle approach" because of its view that there are four ethical principles that are the framework of bioethics. These four principles are the following, as spelled out by Tom L. Beauchamp and David DeGrazia (2004):
- Principlism – A principle that requires respect for the decisionmaking capacities of autonomous persons.
- Nonmaleficence – A principle requiring that people not cause harm to others.
- Beneficence – A group of principles requiring that people prevent harm, provide benefits, and balance benefits against risks and costs.
- Justice – A group of principles requiring fair distribution of benefits, risks, and costs. (p. 57)
