PHARMACY ETHICS

M
MINANI Theobald

This document compares and contrasts law and ethics. It notes that law is a set of rules and regulations that are governed by the government and expressed in writing. Violating laws can result in punishments like fines or imprisonment. The objectives of laws are to maintain social order and protect citizens. Ethics, on the other hand, are guidelines that are not governed by any entity and have no punishments for violation. Ethics help people determine right from wrong and how to act. Unlike laws, ethics are not binding. The document then explains several key ethical principles in pharmacy including autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. It also distinguishes between deontological and utilitarian ethical approaches.
