    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Bioethics
    • Philosophy of Medicine

    Background:

    • Current bioethical principles (autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice) primarily benefit recognized patients.
    • These principles are insufficient for addressing the needs of vulnerable populations outside the typical patient margin.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose an expanded ethical framework for healthcare professionals.
    • To advocate for the inclusion of theological principles (mercy, grace) in modern medical ethics.
    • To explore the historical roots of medical practice emphasizing compassion.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of ethical principles in healthcare.
    • Historical review of medical practices before secularization and commercialization.
    Keywords:

  • Philosophical argumentation for integrating mercy and grace into bioethics.

    • Main Results:

    • Standard bioethical principles inadequately serve all populations, particularly the vulnerable.
    • Theological virtues of mercy and grace offer a complementary ethical dimension.
    • Reintegrating historical compassionate approaches enhances patient care alongside ethical principles.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare ethics should evolve beyond justice to encompass mercy and grace.
    • A return to pre-secular, compassion-focused medical traditions can improve care for vulnerable groups.
    • Competency and compassion are essential, intertwined elements of effective Western medicine.
