Abstract
The title of this chapter, “Essential Ethical Considerations” rather than “The Essential Ethical Considerations,” indicates that there is no single, monolithic set of ethical considerations. Different religious groups have their own sets of ethical criteria, as do various cultural groupings. Even individuals differ as to the ethical concerns they view as important or even relevant. Every ethical issue can be examined from a variety of perspectives, each with its own set of ethical considerations.
