Ethics

Question 7 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

Which of the following statements about ethics and the law are true? (select all that apply)

Answer
A
All ethics are laws.
B
It is impossible for something to be both legal and ethical.
C
Laws can help define ethical and unethical behaviors.
D
Ethics are not the same as laws.
E
Something can be both unethical and illegal.

Explanation

Laws can set rules that help people judge which behaviors are acceptable, so C is true. Ethics and laws are not identical: some ethical duties are not written into law, and something may be legal but unethical, so D is true and A and B are false. An action can also violate both an ethical standard and a law, making E true.
