Principalism is the aspect of four qualities or values that are together to form this principal. These four come together to provide the framework of the values of bioethics, and this can easy be seen in the healthcare field and in the Christian faith. According to the lecture note the four values are: autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. The essential question raised is how the principal of autonomy has raised to the forefront of principalism and how it overlooks all other aspects. I believe that is not the case, in which I would rank the following in order of importance: Nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice. I put these in this order due to the fact that causing no harm is the first and foremost important in healthcare. Secondly, we should prevent harm, provide benefits and do risk vs reward analysis for patient health. Third is autonomy, I put this behind the other two as I do believe that this takes prescedent over the first two and those two are more important. And lastly is justice, though this could easily be number one in my opinion as we should be honorable and truthful in all we do. That is also applies to the Christian faith and not just as a healthcare provider, these values are the forefront of Christianity and can be seen in numerous biblical examples.
