What is distributive justice?
The four main principles of medical ethics are respect for autonomy, beneficence, non- maleficence and justice. Obligations of justice may be further subdivided into:
1. Distributive justice - the fair distribution of healthcare resources (which may be scarce)
2. Rights-based justice - the respect for people's rights
3. Legal justice - the respect for morally acceptable laws.
