primary consideration Much harm has been done to patients as a result, as in the saying, "The treatment was a success, but the patient died."
It is not only more important to do no harm than to do good; it is also important to know how likely it is that your treatment will harm a patient.

To distinguish between Ethics and Law
(1) some actions that are illegal may not be unethical (kill)
(2) some actions that are unethical may not be illegal (secret)
(3) laws can be unethical or immoral (Nazi’s)
we use different kinds of mechanisms to express, teach, inculcate, and enforce laws and ethics.
