need help getting wording on ethics sentence

[LimeSlice]

"The principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) work in tandem and are balanced against each other."


"The tandem principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) must be balanced ."

The fact that you have already mentioned they are tandem principles and the placement in the sentence of those concepts means that the phrase 'against each other' becomes unnecessary.

HTH Good luck!
