Whenever I see another cyclist, whether it’s on the mountain bike trails or the road, I…

After laying out his most widely known iteration of the categorical imperative, [“Act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law” (Kant 37)], Kant establishes some universal laws that follow from it. In light of his previous discussion of the importance of good will—namely that a good will is the only thing good without limitation, Kant additionally considers the relationship between our will and the universal laws that spring…

Nonmaleficence refers to the ethical norm of avoiding causation of harm. 33 It rests on the dictum of primum non nocere, ie, the provider’s obligation not to injure or harm patients and to refrain from actions that would harm them. The term “actions that would harm” highlights the fallibility of medicine, where harm is not always a predictable outcome but based on the probabilities of side effects and complications.

seem to be legitimate questions, knowing the individual my aunt is, there was most likely a bit of sarcasm behind those remarks. Thus my aunt is flouting the quality maxim, by addressing an issue she already knows the answer to.
