Ethics and disability.

Abstract

By using principlism to teach ethics, we are reinforcing a sense of professional superiority among health care professionals. If we are to adequately serve not just the disabled, but all those who come to us for care, we need to rethink and restructure ethics teaching to create a learning environment that promotes and enhances caring.
