My Perspective
Morality is essential to the success of any society and in ensuring that everyone is accorded their basic human dignity. Religiously, God enshrined commandments that promote moral goodness to the whole society (Peterson et al. 628). As such, every member of society should carry out noble deeds in all their life’s undertakings. The medical sector is crucial to the quality of life of every member of society. The inception of biomedical ethics such as justice, non-maleficence, beneficence, and autonomy ensures that every patient is guaranteed quality medical care regardless of their diversity. For years, there have differences in the quality of patient care based on factors of diversity, such as gender and religion. Biomedical ethics has facilitated efficient patient care for females who have been disregarded due to gender stereotypes. Feminist ethics underscore the quality care for females, for instance, on menstrual health, thus shunning any society stereotype (Mappes & Degrazia 31). Also, feminist ethics prevents any further female oppression, especially on patient care. As such, women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and ethnicities, can access primary patient care. At the moment, modern society needs to endeavour on practising virtues. Such virtues may be society-based or religious-based. Such strides will eventually create a society free of societal injustices, for instance, in the healthcare sector on the lines of diversity, especially ethnicity and gender.
