Has this drug been proven beyond debate to be 100% effective and 100% safe, with the studies that proved these things being 100% trustworthy and the doctors administering them being 100% ethical and competent? Since lots of "safe" drugs were later proven to be unsafe, or at least unsafe given a specific set of circumstances, I'd have to say it's unethical. Without absolute certainty it would be wrong to force people to take the drug. People should be allowed to weigh the risks, etc, and make a decision for themselves and their families. That said, even if it's ethically wrong it could still end up preventing more deaths than any unseen side effects may cause. So while it may be wrong on an individual level to force it, it may still be better overall. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
