GALEN PRESS Medical Book Extras A Rapid Approach to Ethical Problems A Rapid Approach to Ethical Problems Iserson KV, Sanders AB, Mathieu D (Editors) ©Galen Press, Ltd., Tucson, AZ, 1995 Would you be willing to have this action performed if you were in the other person's (the patient's) place? This is, in essence, a version of the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. According to John Stuart Mill, this espouses "the complete spirit of the ethics of utility." It is not an infallible rule that will yield a right answer every time. It is intended, however, to correct for one obvious source of moral error-partiality, or self-interested bias. It asks practitioners to switch their point of view, to take the other person's perspective. Usually, that is useful to do and can at least help avoid a grievous error.
