Summary
A variety of approaches have been developed as a way of ‘doing’ medical ethics. While each model may help illuminate different aspects of ethical cases, each have philosophical or practical limitations that preclude one model’s use in all clinical situations. The methods and approaches are described herein, with a brief description of the emphasis and limitations of each. Each model is illustrated through a basic neurosurgical case, reiterated with model-specific details to illustrate the important concepts for each model.
