Preferred term

protected values  

Definition(s)

  • Protected values or other very similar notions, such as sacred values, taboo values, and moral mandates, are values people preclude from tradeoffs with other values, particularly secular values. Protected values refer to any concrete or abstract entity (e.g., human beings, animals, dignity, health, love, honor, honesty, human rights) an individual or a community considers as infinitely significant, not substitutable and inviolable, and therefore as nontradable and noncompensatory. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Protected Values]
