RODRIGUEZ-SORIANO, Roberto Israel. Reflections on the Need for Hierarchies in Bioethical Principialism. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.155-170. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.6497.
Introduction:
This paper presents an analysis of biomedical principlism as proposed by Beauchamp and Childress, establishing non-hierarchical posture based on the four principles of (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice). Development: It is argued that a hierarchy of principles is needed to establish an ethical foundation, without which medical practice can fall into a relativism that is damaging to the integrity and dignity of patients. Furthermore, it is argued that the strengthening of the autonomy principle would hierarchically privilege opportunities to generate a non-patronizing medical perspective and medical practices commensurate with the defense of primary human rights.
Conclusion:
The strengthening of the principle of autonomy will allow to generate a more horizontal doctor-patient relationship by allowing the recognition of it's faculty in regards to the solution of ethical dilemmas.
