Question 12

Americans have a right to protected healthcare information. Use ethics principles to defend or refute this statement.

Accepted Answer

The statement that Americans have a right to protected healthcare information can be defended using the principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice in medical ethics.

Autonomy is the principle that individuals have the right to make their own decisions about their healthcare, including the right to control who has access to their personal health information. This principle supports the idea that individuals should have the right to keep their healthcare information private and protected.

Beneficence is the principle that healthcare providers have a duty to act in the best interest of their patients. Protecting patients' healthcare information is in their best interest as it allows for the provision of appropriate and personalized care without fear of judgment or discrimination.

Justice is the principle that healthcare resources and information should be distributed fairly and equitably. Protecting healthcare information ensures that individuals have equal access to healthcare services and are not discriminated against based on their medical history.

On the other hand, the statement could be refuted by arguing that there are instances where sharing healthcare information is necessary for public health reasons or for the safety of the individual or others. In these cases, the principle of nonmaleficence, which is the duty to do no harm, may take precedence over the right to privacy.

In conclusion, the statement that Americans have a right to protected healthcare information can be defended using the principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice in medical ethics. However, there may be situations where the need to share healthcare information for the greater good may conflict with this right.
