[edit] Expansion needed
More discussion of the ethical concept of beneficence; material on the Ball State University motto/statue probably belongs at the university page. Claudine C. (talk) 11:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- It seems maybe the statue should be moved to its own article, and the concept expanded on here. L. Pistachio 02:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Ethical concept of beneficence- In general, beneficence is about positive action to produce good results. Its a principal, not a virtue. The virtue is benevolence. Beneficence usually requires us to make utilitarian decisions. So beneficence basically goes with utilitarianism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.160.185.211 (talk) 02:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
