Abstract

The article discusses the importance of ethical decision-making in child neurology, particularly in the context of current societal challenges. It highlights the limitations of traditional ethical frameworks, such as consequentialism and deontology, in urgent clinical situations, and suggests that virtue ethics, as articulated by Aristotle, may offer a more adaptable approach. The author emphasizes the need for courage as a critical virtue for neurologists, especially when advocating for vulnerable patients in the face of political and social pressures. The piece calls for a reflection on ethical practices that prioritize patient safety and dignity amidst contemporary challenges. [Extracted from the article]
