Preferred term

moral factors  

Definition

  • Moral factors are elements in decision making that relate to our relationships, as individuals and communities, with other people and the values used to structure ways of living well. Moral factors pervade every medical decision but often go unnoticed because in standard practice there is consensus on how to balance competing moral factors best.
