 Accounts vary of how narrative ethics actually functions as a tool of ethical analysis. A first option is that a narrative approach acts as a supplement to moral principles rather than as a replacement of them. On this version of narrative ethics, we are looking at a way of doing bioethics that requires sensitive attention to so-called “narrative elements” of human experience, such as stories told by patients, caregivers, and family members. There is no thought of doing away with a bioethics driven by theories and principles, just a call to use those tools with a sensitive appreciation of the first-person accounts of others (Charon 1994). Another way of thinking about narrative as a supplement to principles is to consider the way in which principles and cases share a dialectical relationship within the context of reflective equilibrium. Here, the cases in response to which we develop considered judgments are themselves narratives. So again, this conception is accommodating of moral theory, as moral theorizing and stories are mutually interdependent.
