Discussion of bioethical issues using the four principles approach proposed by Beauchamp and Childress is now standard practice in the UK. This paper first documents the history of principlism before considering its impact and reviewing some criticisms of the approach. A future paper will examine some of the philosophical difficulties arising from principlism in greater depth.
