Description
Every health worker justifies his role in the health industry by laying claim to the original ethical principles of Autonomy, Beneficience, Non-maleficence and Justice (1). To these four, two more principles have recently been added: Dignity and Truthfulness with Honesty. But how many of us know what these terms really mean? Historically, medical ethics dates back to Hippocrates and form the basis of the Hippocratic Oath. Maimonides, Catholic moral theologians and Islamic physicians have also contributed to our understanding of medical ethics. Perhaps the first book dedicated to medical ethics was written by a Muslim physician, Ishaq Bin ali Tahawi who wrote The Conduct of a Physician. In the 18th century, a British doctor, Thomas Percival (1740-1804) of Manchester, England, wrote about "Medical Jurisprudence" and coined the phrase "Medical Ethics." In 1847, the American Medical Association adopted its first Code of Ethics based largely upon Percival's work.
