Williams Bioethics Worksheet

Product Description

 The Williams Bioethics Worksheet draws from the primary method for Bioethics analysis used world-wide.  Most Bioethics texts use a 5 step Veatch2 process:

1. Respond to the "sense" or feeling that something is wrong
2. Gather information
3. Identify the key ethical problem
4. Seek a resolution
5. Work with others to determine a course of action.

The Williams Bioethics Worksheet extends this method in key ways.  It identifies the moral actor's instincts.  It assesses the consequences of those instincts.  It defines the tensions at play.  It introduces the Complementary Bio Ethic.  It develops a place for a Religious Ethic that may operative in the problem.  It prescribes the Action Plan with moral language.

On the reverse side is the Williams Bioethics Analysis.
