Validity of narrative ethics

• Agree

  Our judicial system is in some way based on narrative ethics i.e it often takes the story of a person into consideration when making judgements e.g case of Jamie Burgers killers
• Agree

  Many scholars such as Windows would argue that ethics can't be a 'one size fits all' but rather the moral or ethical thing to do is based on the individuals situations
• Agree

  A valid approach within the healthcare sector. for example may be acceptable to lie to a dementia patient about a death to avoid them going through the bereavement again
• Disagree

  It fails to recognise that some things can never be considered moral e.g 9/11
• Disagree

  Honour Killings - it would allow individuals to make their own decisions e.g Dr Harold Shipman who killed many elderly patients
• Disagree

  Narrative ethics would allow for revenge killings e.g Iraqi solider killed 7 soldiers in revenge for this fathers death
