ÖZET
 Oyun teorisi, çeşitli aktörler arasındaki etkileşimlerin ve bunların sonuçlarının matematiksel gösterim ve modellerle analizidir. Bu çalışmada oyun teorisi, tıbbi içerikli ve böylece tıp etiğine tabi gerçek yaşantılardan uyarlanan 2 basit senaryoya uygulanmıştır. Günümüzde tıp, içerdiği ve kesiştiği tüm alanlarla birlikte, birbiriyle etkileşen birçok özne içeren geniş bir faaliyet kümesidir. Fakat faaliyet gösterilen alan tıp ise, tüm tıbbi, ticari, resmî ve iktisadi aktörlerin tıp etiği çerçevesinde hareket etmeleri, teknik ve etik açıdan yapılabilecekler ve yapmamak gerekenler arasında nasıl bir yol izleyecekleri konusunda kabul edilebilir stratejiler geliştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu bakımdan bir strateji disiplini olan iktisat menşeli oyun teorisi, tıp etiğinde de değerlendirilesi bir araçtır.

ABSTRACT
 Game theory is the analysis of consequential interaction between various actors by use of mathematical representation and modelling. In this study, game theory is applied in 2 simple medicine-related and thus medical-ethically relevant scenarios based on real life. With all its subsets and intersections, medicine today implies a realm of interaction by numerous agents. However, if the field in which to act is medicine, all the medical, commercial, official, and financial actors must operate in line with medical ethics, and must develop acceptable strategies to navigate between the technically and ethically feasible and objectionable. Originally rooted in economics, game theory as a discipline of strategy is a valuable tool in medical ethics as well.
