stuff about sacred spring

I think i am right about the water as i found this on the Sacred Spring web blog
"The central image, symbol, of Sacred Spring is water. Why? What does this mean? Why is this important to us? Water flows. It can be a strong enough force to knock you over, and yet it is fluid. You may like to contemplate for a moment the notion that the rivers flow into the sea, and that the rain comes from the sea, yet the sea is never full nor empty. Ice, steam, clouds, rain are all just different states of the same element - water. Water can be still and calm, and it can be violent and fearsome. One drip of water can overflow a cup, yet one drop is not enough to satisfy thirst. Ultimately water can, with patience and tenacity, cause a cliff to collapse into the sea, or change the course of a river.

While we pay attention to the other elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Wood - Water is THE one of the five elements that encapsulates the fluid yet strong principles of Sacred Spring. "
Four Bioethical Principles
The four bioethical principles have been described as:
· Autonomy - respect for the individual and their ability to make decisions with regard to their own health and future. Actions that enhance autonomy are thought of as desirable and actions that 'dwarf' an individual and their autonomy are undesirable.
·
· Beneficence - actions intended to benefit the patient or others
· Non-maleficence - actions intended not to harm or bring harm to the patient and others
· Justice being fair or just to the wider community in terms of the consequences of an action
