Principlism

Originating in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the principlist approach to ethical decision-making has dominated Western bioethics for many years. The approach manifested through several publications around that time, including the Belmont Report, which identified basic principles that should guide research involving human subjects. Several books defended a principlist framework, most notably the work of Beauchamp and Childress (1979).

Central Tenets

(1) Ethical principles (e.g., autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice) and their guiding rules are central to ethical decision-making; (2) A decision is morally justifiable if that decision is consistent with the principles and their theoretical underpinnings; (3) The justificatory force of a decision can be measured by the degree to which it achieves an overall cohesion of all of the elements of the decision-making process (McCarthy 2003).
