Response to Melissa Loch Hello Melissa Loch! It is true that the four principles of ethics are non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, benevolence, and justice (Varkey, 2021). Your rank among the four principles is great. I believe that in the Christian perspective, beneficence comes first. Nonmaleficence is second because of its close relationship to beneficence. Adhering to this rule means refraining from any behavior that might cause harm to others (Heston & Pahang, 2019). Justice is third since it involves the fair treatment, equitable distribution of resources, and adherence to ethically upheld regulations. As God has given us the freedom to choose to follow his ways, autonomy would last place. References Heston, T. F., & Pahang, J. A. (2019). Moral injury and the four pillars of bioethics.

It is true that the four ethical guiding principles are (Varkey, 2021): Respect for autonomy permits people to make decisions and behave based on their worldviews. Non-maleficence is balancing the advantages and dangers of medical treatments and procedures. Benevolence is a moral commitment to be kind to others and exhibit pity and kindness. Justice means fair, equitable, and suitable treatment (Bredenoord, 2017). I agree with your ranking of the ethical principles—respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—and believe it
should be honored. It is true that the Christian worldview ranks ethical principles as follows: beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and respect for autonomy. References Bredenoord, A. L. (2017). The Principles of Biomedical Ethics Revisited. Intercultural Dialogue in Bioethics , 133–151. https://doi.org/10.1142/9781786340481_0006 Varkey, B. (2021).

Karger. https://doi.org/10.1159/000509119 Response to Dakota Rogers Hello Dakota Rogers! It is true that there are four guiding ethical principles (Beauchamp & Rauprich, 2017): Respect for Autonomy: the individual patient's capacity to make choices about his or her health and destiny. Benevolence: the act and promotion of good; preventing and removing evil or damage. Non-maleficence: The need to refrain from doing damage to others. Justice: maximizing positive outcomes for patients and society in a way that upholds principles of justice, impartiality, and equality (Teven & Gottlieb, 2017). I appreciate the way you categorized principles of ethics like "autonomy," "non-maleficence," "beneficence," and "justice" according to your view. I believe that from a Christian perspective, beneficence is the most important principle, followed by non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy. References Beauchamp, T. L., & Rauprich, O. (2017).
