Abstract

Is a medical decision rationally founded on the application of statistically efficient evidence-based medicine procedures fair and right for any given patient? Medical ethics invite us to consider the caregiving action through the prism of guidelines based on autonomy, beneficence/nonmaleficence and justice.

Keywords: beneficence; bienfaisance; care; ethics; maleficence; malfaisance; person; personne; relation; relationship; soin; éthique.
