What is Ethics?
Identifying ethical principles to guide action Analyzing and evaluating the rightness or

Ethical TheoriesActor/Agent Action
(Deontology)Results
(Consequentialism)Virtue Ethics (Aristotle)
Ethical Duties (Kant) Utilitarianism (J.S. Mill)
Focuses on what a person of character would do
Determines what action best fulfills one’s duty
Weighs harms and benefits resulting from an action
A moral action exemplifies the virtues of a person of character
A moral action fulfills a duty or obligation one owes to oneself or society
A moral action provides the best net balance of benefits over harms for most people
Useful to assess skills and abilities needed for success
Duties defined in terms of moral principles or maxims
Implicit in cost/benefit or risk/benefit assessments
Reliability, trustworthiness, competence
Autonomy, justice, equity, human rights
Long versus short term harms and benefits, undue burdens

What does Public Health Ethics Offer? Vocabulary and guidance: to illuminate the
ethical dimensions of cases and policies Ethical principles and norms: which are
“starting points” to guide ethical reflection about balancing the competing moral claims Balancing moral claims is similar to the process officials
use in understanding and making public health cost-benefit tradeoffs
Difference: Instead of focusing on “quantifiable” health gains or losses, public health ethics focuses on identifying, weighing, and balancing moral interests at stake in a particular situation
![Page 17: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

An Ethics Guide for Public Health Decision Making
1. Analyze ethical issues Risks and harms of concern? Public health goals? Moral claims of the stakeholders? Is the source or scope of legal authority in question? Are precedent cases relevant? Do professional codes of ethics provide guidance?
![Page 19: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

An Ethics Guide for Public Health Decision Making
2. Evaluate the ethical dimensions of the alternate courses of public health action
Utility: Does a particular public health action produce a balance of benefits over harms?
Justice: Are the benefits and burdens distributed fairly? Respect for individual and community interests:
Does the public health action respect individual and civic roles and values (e.g., honesty, trustworthiness)
![Page 20: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

An Ethics Guide for Public Health Decision Making
3. Provide justification for public health action
Effectiveness: Is the public health goal likely to be accomplished?
Proportionality: Will the probable benefits of the action outweigh the infringed moral considerations?
Necessity: Is overriding the conflicting ethical claims necessary to achieve the public health goal?
Least infringement: Is the action the least restrictive and least intrusive?
Public justification: Can public health agents offer public justification that citizens, and in particular those most affected, could find acceptable in principle?

The Complementary Nature of Public Health Law and Public Health Ethics
![Page 27: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
The Complementary Roles of Public Health Ethics and Public Health
Law Why consider law in an ethics training?
Laws define the boundaries for lawful action Laws may be a useful starting point for consideration of
public health action Laws may rely on common ethical principles Laws may reveal social moral consensus Laws and legal advice may provide the framework for
decision making
![Page 28: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Ethics and Law Share Similar Decision Making Processes
Deliberate consideration and articulation of: Facts, questions, conflict Options Decision Reasons for the decision
And, in the end, reasonable minds may still disagree
![Page 29: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Legal and Ethical Continuum
Ethical ideals (best)
Ethical conduct (acceptable)
Possibly unethical conduct (questionable)
________________________________LAW = generally agreed upon conduct;unethical conduct ≠ illegal conduct
ethical maximums
legal minimums (floor)

Key Concept: Police Powers Defined: Powers exercised by the states to
enact legislation and promulgate regulations to protect the public health, welfare, and morals, and to promote the common good.
Examples: Investigations of infectious disease outbreaks Childhood vaccinations as condition for school entry Ban on distribution of free cigarette samples in areas
around schools and other places frequented by minors Involuntary detention of persons with certain
communicable diseases Property seizure and destruction to control toxic
substance threats
![Page 31: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Constitutional Limits on Government Action
Substantive limits - Jacobson v. Massachusetts framework Public health necessity Reasonable means Proportionality
• Burden must be reasonable to anticipated benefit (least restrictive alternative)
Harm avoidance• Should not impose undue health risk on the subject
Procedural limits Due process requirements
• Includes right to notice, hearing, representation of counsel, periodic review
![Page 32: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Parameter Setting Role of Law Laws provide the boundaries
Tell you what you must do Tell you what you can do
• May be explicitly authorized in statute OR• May be inferred from statutes, case law
Tell you what you cannot do But may not tell you what you should do
(among options) In some cases, law may conflict with what
ought to do
![Page 33: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Dealing with Uncertainty Lawyer may be unable to provide advice
about what one ought to do Where law does not require or prohibit And no legal precedent to guide Limit of professional role
Ethics may help in thinking through options Identifying options Delineating justification for or against
![Page 34: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Summary Law in Public Health: Provides authority,
limitations on state power, incentives and disincentives for behavior; often allows for much professional discretion
Ethics in Public Health: Provides ongoing analysis, deliberation about, and justification for public health action and policy, often when law is indeterminate.
Law Formal institution
• Statutes• Regulations• Court decision
Public proceedings with a “reasonable person” standard

42
Case-based Approach Traditional method of using cases to
develop practical moral judgment and resolve ethical issues
The case approach reasons “up” inductively from particular instances to more generally applicable moral conclusions
Similar to the development of common law which uses legal precedents
![Page 43: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Advantages of Case-based Approach Encourages ethical reflection and discussion Reinforces basic ethical concepts through
application to concrete cases Highlights practical decision making Allows learners to consider different
perspectives Sensitizes learners to complex, multi-
dimensional context of issues in public health practice
![Page 44: Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816075550346895dcf9d16/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Stakeholder Analysis
Consider interests, values, and moral claims of stakeholders
Identify potential partners and areas of tension
May involve community engagement or consultation

45
Deliberative Process Ensures fairness of process Weighs stakeholder values in relation to
core public health values Health Community Evidence-based decision making
Designs alternatives consistent with stakeholder and public health values
Chooses between competing alternatives
