The delicate balance of law and ethics: a model for health administration educators.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a model for educators involved in teaching interrelated ethical, moral and legal dilemmas confronting health care delivery. For purposes of discussion, the AIDS epidemic is used as an example. Similarly complex issues, such as invitro fertilization, transplantation policy, etc. could also be analyzed using this model. A review of federal law, including a number of relevant cases, and their relationship of fundamental ethics issues is provided.
