Ethical Issues: " the duties of clinical care"

Clinical Choices created by advances in medical technology are essentially ethically rather than scientific.Doctors like to think of themselves as men and women of science: Assess the symptoms, order the tests, make a diagnosis, and administer the treatment. The modern world is making that model more complicated. Political debates about abortion and assisted suicide and technological advances that allow doctors to artificially extend life are posing all kinds of new ethical dilemmas.  In general, to address these dilemmas a society heavily relies upon moral beleif and arguments. As it pertains to medicine, the law esteblises boundries for what government and the courts, through statute and common law, have deemed to be acceptable professional practice.
As complaints against doctors contribute toward bringing the medical profession into desrepute  ( wheather that are successful or not),  it becomes very crucial to know what are " the duties of clinical care".  Three basic rule of clinical care are as follows:
  1. Protect life and health 
           -Treatment for them who need it
           -treatment should not be prescribed just because patients request them.
  2. Respect autonomy
           -Humans have the ability to reason, plan and make choices about the future. 
           -by giving respect to these attributes one preserves human dignity
           - Autonomy of patient led to two futher rights a) Informed Consent  b) Confidentiality
  3. Protect life and health and respect autonomy with fairness and justice
          - Every human being has right to expect to be treated equally,
          -the access to, and quality of care should be based only on the dictate of needs rather
           than arbitrary perjudice or favouritism
