Theoretical contribution: This paper covers a wide range of literature related to decision making in general and primarily ethical decision making. The author made a great work in combining different theories related to ethical decision making. Although this paper proposes a new and integrated framework for ethical decision making, the theoretical contribution is questionable. The author combined different part of previous versions of ethical decision-making framework without considering the normative implication for such combination. This combination is similar to cooking by throwing all kind of ingredients without a recipe and hoping that they taste good with each other. For example, emotion, reason, and rationalization overlap with each other, and their separation is not meaningful. If someone observes a child who is drowning in water, ethical decision making does not start by being aware of a moral issue. The reaction may come very fast (automatically) even without any thinking or rationalization, especially if the observer is the mother or father of the victim. If we call this feeling intuition, then action and intuition happen simultaneously, and they do not follow the proposed framework. In other words, different person and situation lead to different decisions which are not necessarily pass through stages mentioned in this framework. It would be better if the author connects this framework with normative implications.

Summary: This paper is an excellent paper with clear structure and aim which deal with the interesting and useful subject. The author did a great job reviewing all the relevant literature in the field of ethical decision making and present them accurately. We recommend thinking more about the normative implication for each element of the framework before combining them in what is called I-EDM.
