    • Bioethics

    Background:

    • The Georgetown Mantra (beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice) is the established framework for ethical decisions in healthcare.
    • This framework has guided moral and ethical discussions within the medical community for years.

    Observation:

    • Clinical decisions, especially concerning chronically ill patients, require careful ethical consideration.
    • Existing bioethical frameworks may not fully encompass the nuances of caring for long-term patients.

    Findings:

    • The ethics of compassion is proposed as a critical principle for clinical decision-making.
    • Compassion ethics can significantly enhance the existing bioethical framework.

    Implications:

    • Integrating compassion ethics offers a more holistic approach to patient care.
    • This adjunct principle can improve ethical outcomes for chronically ill individuals.
    • It enriches the established Georgetown Mantra, providing a more comprehensive ethical toolkit for clinicians.
