When evaluating the identified alternatives to an ethical decision, it is generally not appropriate to:
- **Focus on cost and profit issues**: Ethical decisions should consider the moral implications and impact on stakeholders, not just financial outcomes.
- **Exclude personal perspectives**: Personal perspectives can provide valuable insights into the ethical implications and human factors involved in the decision.
- **Dismiss the opinions of affiliated parties**: Including the viewpoints of relevant stakeholders is essential for understanding the broader implications and fostering ethical considerations.
- **Decide on a favorable solution in advance**: Making a decision prior to evaluating alternatives undermines the integrity of the ethical decision-making process.
Therefore, none of these options are appropriate when evaluating alternatives in ethical decision-making. A more suitable approach would involve thorough consideration of all perspectives and implications associated with each alternative.
