Yes, autonomy must be respected. I see respecting autonomy as something that limits the kinds of actions that a doctor may do to a patient. Difficult medical ethics cases involve a patient with decision-making capacity refusing a treatment that the doctor deems to be in the patient's interest. As long as the patient has capacity, they may refuse, and the doctor should honor that refusal.
In a consequential view only the results matter in terms of moral judgement of action. Results can be direct or indirect and we must look short term and long term to see and assess various effects.
This really needed to talk more clearly about consent. Apart from that Plato's Republic, specifically the craft argument, tell you basically all you need to know about medical ethics. The craft of medicine is concerned with healing the patient, not benefitting the craftsman (or anyone else); and like any profession, you cannot act without the customer's consent.
Well, this sure isn't the case in the last 3 years. Doctors weren't free to "do no harm" when it came to treating patients. Regulatory capture and special interests forced many doctors to do what they told. This video is thought experiment and can't be applied to our current healthcare system.
Woke Turds Of Late Capitalism. Self defeating visions. Inside a dog-eat-dog neoliberal society, that too facing posibility of near-term collapse, there will be little or no space for ethics!

Mandatory clot-shots?
So they postulated the principles of bioethics and then retroactively condemned doctors who didnt follow them? 😂😂
Today’s doctors only care about one thing - $$$$$$$$

This sure went out the window in 2020. There is no trust left, but I'm not sure if they ever deserved trust.
