SECTION V
1. Introduction
Medical ethics is a systematic effort to work within the ethos of medicine, which has
traditionally been service to sick.
There is now a shift from the traditional individual patient doctor relationship of medical
care. With the advances in science and technology and the needs of patients, their families
and the community, there is an increased concern with the health of the society. There is a
shift to greater accountability to the society. Doctors and other health professionals are
confronted with many ethical problems. It is, therefore, necessary to be prepared to deal with
these problems.
In keeping with its goal to improve quality of education, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health
Sciences recommends introduction of medical ethics in the regular teaching of BNYS course
beginning from first year and continuing till the end of internship.
2. Objectives
The objectives of teaching medical ethics should be to enable the students develop the
students to develop the ability to:
3. Make decisions based on acceptable moral concepts and also traditions and
practices

Justice = Equality
Patient as a person
Right to be respected
Autonomy of decision
Right to health
Physician-patient relationship
Organ donation
Conception, contraception
254
Abortion
Prenatal sex-determination
Surrogate motherhood
Genetic Engineering
Prolongation of life
Euthanasia
Death awareness
Prolongation of life
255
The right to die with dignity
h. Professional Ethics
Code of conduct
Prescription of drugs
i. Research Ethics
Human experimentation
Setting of priorities
4. Teaching/Learning Experience
256
The teacher involved in teaching ethics should show how the ethical principles are
applied on a day-to-day and patient to patient basis by demonstrating by example,
how to identify and resolve a particular problem, increasing the awareness and
knowledge of students of students the value dimensions of interactions with patients,
colleagues, relations and public.
5. Evaluation
All major subjects should have at least one short answer question on Medical Ethics
appropriate for the subject introduced in the University question paper, and a few
questions may be asked in the viva voce examination, eg., basic principles of
informed consent, confidentiality, etc.
