    The document outlines rules of beneficence and non-maleficence. Rules of beneficence include protecting others' rights, preventing harm, helping those with disabilities, rescuing endangered people, and physicians healing patients and relieving suffering. Rules of non-maleficence prohibit killing, causing pain, incapacitating or offending others, or depriving them of life's benefits. Both sets of rules aim to balance benefit and harm, though determining where one ends and the other begins can be difficult, such as in cases of euthanasia.
