Abstract
- The article discusses the ethical aspects of homeopathy as form of health care. It states that providing homeopathy as a medicine to patients is unethical because it may lead to more risks for the patient's health and wastes of resources. It mentions that the use of homeopathy as a placebo-based therapy is ethically and logically flawed as its founder, Samuel Hahnemann, believes that it can cause psychological changes in the patient.
