The meaning and application of the principle of beneficence to
issues in health care is rarely clear or certain. Although the
principle is frequently employed to justify a variety of actions
and inactions, very little has been done from a conceptual point of
view to test its relevance to these behaviors or to explore its
relationship to other moral principles that also might be called
upon to guide or justify conduct. Perhaps more than any other, the
principle of benef icence seems particularly appropriate to
contexts of health care in which two or more parties interact from
positions of relative strength and weakness, advantage and need, to
pursue some perceived goal. It is among those moral principles that
Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress selected in their textbook
on bioethics as applicable to biomedicine in general and relevant
to a range of specific issues ( 1], pp. 135-167). More narrowly,
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behav ioral Research identified beneficence as among
those moral principles that have particular relevance to the
conduct of research involving humans (2). Thus, the principle of
beneficence is seen as pertinent to the routine delivery of health
care, the discovery of new therapies, and the rationale of public
policies related to health care."
