    Key Terms

    Duty's basis(as used in ethics)
    The fundamental reason or principle that explains why we have a moral obligation to do something. It's the 'why' behind a duty.
    Foreseeable harm(as used in ethics)
    Damage or injury that you can reasonably predict will happen as a result of your actions, based on what you know or should know.
    Non-person-affecting framework(as used in ethics)
    A way of thinking about right and wrong that doesn't depend on how actions affect individual people's lives. Instead, it focuses on things like whether an action violates a rule or duty, regardless of who experiences the consequences.
