Nonconsequential Theory of Ethics: Case Analysis
This paper analyzes a medical ethics case using both consequentialist and non-consequentialist perspectives. Nonconsequentialism emphasizes the ethical significance of intentions, highlighting that Chelsea and Daniel acted with good intent. However, consequentialism evaluates morality based on outcomes, deeming their actions unethical due to the surgical error. The discussion contrasts these perspectives, illustrating how ethical assessments vary depending on whether intent or consequences are prioritized in moral reasoning.
