The geometric approach is the principle of beneficence that says that one should
look at the ratios of the expected benefits to the expected risks for the available
options and then choose the option that has the greatest ratio of benefit to harm.

- More money spent on elderly than children
- Most of new technology is focused on the prolongment of life
- Wants to as a culture and individuals embrace this idea of a "natural life span" where
one has received the opportunities that life typically affords people

extending life should not be funded and investing money to the elderly is not going

, Sparksnotes: This article is about the ethical codes and conflicts between:
personal beliefs and workplace demands.
1.) Contract model: The professional should disclose to patients any treatment limits at
the outset for encounter
Strength: the patient can decide if this physician is right for them or whether they
should look for desired service somewhere else.
Weakness: Does not work well when patients need care quickly or when no one else
can take over the task of objecting professional
2.) Referral: The transfer of patients to another professional willing to provide the
contested service
Strength: If the physician does not provide the desired service, they have a duty to
refer the patient to someone who does, allow the patient to get needs met eventually.
Weakness: May not be morally okay with physicians - "I don't kill people, but let me
refer you to the guy down the street who does.
3.) Rules out conscientious objection: When you enter the medical career, you must
conform to its basic standards.
Strength: the individual gives up the freedom to avoid certain core duties.
Weakness: however, sometimes these standards are never explicitly disclosed, so
some may argue they did not sign up for this.
4.) Draft board: military's approach requires objectors to explain and defend their
opposition to performing a particular medical procedure.
Strengths: Requires objectors to explain and defend their opposition to performing
the particular medical procedure. This approach seeks to separate beliefs from other
motivations
Weakness: This model can be damaging to morale, cannot detect skilled liars, and the
review process may be incompetent or corrupt.
5.) Compromise: Urges professionals to seek a compromise between personal beliefs
and the patient's interest in obtaining the disputed service
