    Ethox Structure Flowchart

    Uploaded by

    John Kole
    This flow chart outlines the decision-making process for the Ethox approach to medical ethics cases. It involves gathering relevant clinical and factual details, listing options and their morally significant features while considering patient preferences, capacity, and best interests. It also considers what the law and guidance say about each option and the moral arguments for and against each. An option is chosen by evaluating consequences, respect for persons, and implications if made a general rule. The strongest counterargument is identified and rebutted before making a recommendation, which is later reviewed.
