Description
Michael Trimble reviews the four principles approach to medical ethics in this 2024 paper. The approach, proposed by Beauchamp and Childress, judges hard cases by four principles and is now standard practice in the United Kingdom. Trimble traces the history of this framework, called principlism, then weighs its impact and reviews the main criticisms of it. A later paper, he notes, will take up the deeper philosophical problems. Readers get a compact map of how one framework came to guide bioethics debate, and where its weak points lie.
