  • Analysis Of To Understand Anti-Vaxxers, Consider Aristotle, By Gary Simon

    1110 Words  | 5 Pages

    Simon's argument is well-supported and he provides compelling examples of how Aristotle's philosophy can be applied to the issue of vaccines. One potential weakness of Simon's article is that it may be difficult for readers who are not familiar with Aristotle's philosophy to fully understand his argument. Additionally, Simon's article focuses primarily on the ethical issues at stake in the anti-vaccine movement, and does not provide as much information about the scientific evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of vaccines. While Simon's argument is compelling, it may be less persuasive to readers who are skeptical of vaccines due to misinformation or conspiracy theories. Simon uses Aristotle's philosophy to argue that the anti-vaccine movement is motivated by a flawed understanding of individual autonomy, and that policymakers and public health officials must take a nuanced approach to addressing vaccine hesitancy.

  • Ethical Fundamentals Of CIA Bioethics

    1344 Words  | 6 Pages

    To analyze the ethical components of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) use of a false of vaccination program to obtain information, one can used the four levels of moral discourse outlined in Robert M. Veatch’s The Basics of Bioethics. Looking at the four levels of moral discourse allows us to consider possibilities through which the hoax CIA vaccination program could be considered ethical or unethical. Below I outline a relativist belief that when working through the various levels of moral discourse, one can justify the CIA’s actions as ethical depending on the source of ethics used; using principles of bioethics, we see that the CIA’s actions were unethical, but when considering other principles or virtues, particularly those that

  • Argument Against Vaccinations

    858 Words  | 4 Pages

    Before I started this course I had only put minimal thought as to what our rights were in choosing to be vaccinated or not. From what I gathered from being a child and knowing what my nephews are required to have, it was my belief was that vaccinations are a mandated requirement and there was no getting around it. If parents wanted their child to be enrolled in day care, play in little league or just to attend school, it was a requirement to have physicals and for children to be vaccinated. I don’t have any children of my own and because of that I rarely had put any thought as to the number of vaccinations a child must have before the age of four until they reach adulthood. Though not having children does negate my sympathies towards parents’ concerns

  • Ethical Issues For Vaccination

    Vaccination is a key factor in keeping communities safe from harmful diseases, especially those that can spread easily. However, pediatric immunization policy can be debated from an ethical perspective because it concerns the role of the government and families in maintaining the health of children. I will argue that the immunization requirements with exemptions for school entrance in Washington state are ethically required because they balance the role of the government in public health and personal autonomy in the most minimally intrusive way possible. Hendrix points out that pediatric vaccination, or the policies surrounding vaccination requirements for children, can “span several public health domains, including those of policymakers,

  • Vaccines: The Moral Opposition To Abortion

    181 Words  | 1 Pages

    Some parents have refused vaccinations for their children based on religious objections. The moral opposition to these vaccines is due to the acquisition of the initial cell lines in which vaccine viruses are grown. (Chatterjee, 2010) These parents believe it is morally illicit to attain fetal tissue in any manner whether it’s the mother having the abortion, the abortionist performing the act, the researcher or the vaccine manufacturer. Not only do they feel “these parties are all equally guilty of assisting in premeditated murder but they fear these practices can contribute in the encouragement of voluntary abortions, for the intended purpose of making vaccines.”

    Required Immunity Mandatory vaccinations for children in public schools have been the center of much debate since laws were first developed to regulate immunization. Fears from parents about side effects and adverse reactions have steered many away from wanting to vaccinate their children despite the numerous infectious diseases they prevent. These debates have gotten in the way of progression in schools for preventing the spread of disease. To me, the risks of not vaccinating children are far greater than the risks of adverse reactions.
