1 Ethical Issues for Doctors Of Chiropractic Exclusive of (Sexual Misconduct) Presented By: Joseph S. Ferezy, D.C. Objectives Sensitize the D.C. To issues relating to ethical dilemma that may arise in chiropractic practice Real or perceived Applies to patients and employees alike 1
2 Ethics A major branch of philosophy, encompasses right conduct and good living. It is significantly broader than the common conception of analyzing right and wrong A central aspect of ethics is "the good life", the life worth living or life that is satisfying, which is held by many philosophers to be more important than moral conduct. The major problem is the discovery of the summum bonum, the greatest good. The right act can be identified as the one causing the greatest good and the immoral act as the one impeding it. Morals Ethics and morals are respectively akin to theory and practice. Ethics denotes the theory of right action and the greater good Morals indicate their practice Moral has a dual meaning. The first indicates a person's comprehension of morality and his capacity to put it into practice. In this meaning, the antonym is "amoral", indicating an inability to distinguish between right and wrong. The second denotes the active practice of those values. In this sense, the contrary word is "immoral", referring to actions that violate ethical principles. Personal ethics signifies a moral code applicable to individuals, while social ethics means moral theory applied to groups. 2
