Biblical ethics Biblical ethics is based on Christ’s teachings and is quite different from other theorems. The ethical approaches based on the bible are incorporated into most ethics, but the inverse is not valid. Biblical ethics also have one original plan in predicting the outcomes of their observations. When a person follows Biblical ethics, one may incur physical backlashes but is considered to have achieved salvation in the spiritual realm. The promise of salvation allows Christians to observe the rules without question (Arner, 2016, p. 379). Christ-centered ethics, if properly applied, may assist extensively in courtroom confessions. If a suspect or a witness in a court proceeding is a believer, compelling him/her to take an oath while holding the bible would help bring out all possible correct information from them. The act may help eliminate the complexity of applying other forceful information extraction techniques used by interrogative agencies. Therefore, no physical harm would be inflicted on a suspect or witness. Biblical ethics may also be applicable in convincing a suicide attempter to calm down from what grieves him. Psychologists consider…

My Take on “The Nurse Who Thought the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses Was Wrong” Martha Levy finds herself torn between her professional code of ethics and her religious morality. On the one hand, her professional morality (as expressed in the ANA Code of Ethics) emphasizes the importance of patient autonomy. One widely accepted aspect of respecting patient autonomy is that a patient should not be forced to endure a treatment or procedure which they autonomously do not wish to undergo or continue. In this case, we do not hear Mr. Carson’s wishes directly from his mouth. However, his niece is his recognized surrogate and voice for his autonomous wishes. This form of surrogacy has become legally and ethically accepted practice in current medicine and health care. And so, ethically speaking, unless one can show reason otherwise, the decisions of Mr. Carson’s niece are accepted as his decisions as well. On the other hand, her religious morality (or at least the extent to which she and her rabbi interpret this morality) holds that life should always be preserved. This…
