Answer

Brief Explanations:

This set of scenarios presents ethical - decision - making situations in a medical context. Deontology focuses on following moral rules and duties regardless of the consequences, while consequential ethics evaluates actions based on their outcomes. For example, in Scenario 1, refusing the gift (B) based on ethical rules of non - corruption aligns with deontology. In Scenario 4, always being honest (B) even if it may cause negative emotions is a deontological approach as truth - telling is seen as a moral duty. Overall, responses that prioritize moral rules and duties over potential good outcomes tend to be deontological, and responses that consider the best overall outcome for patients or others are consequentialist.

Answer:

Responses vary based on individual moral perspectives. If one consistently chooses options based on moral rules and duties (e.g., refusing gifts, always being honest), they may identify more with deontology. If one chooses options based on what will lead to the best overall outcome (e.g., performing surgery to benefit the patient despite cost), they may identify more with consequential ethics.
