Description
In the first section, we offered an overview of paternalism (definition, examples) and we examined a few reasons why we might be attracted to, or – to the contrary – reluctant to accept, public policies that are called paternalistic. In the second, more practical, section, we offered a three-step approach to conducting a nuanced ethical analysis of population-based policies or interventions that are accused or suspected of being paternalistic.
Learning objectives
At the end of the webinar, participants were able:
- To understand what paternalism is and to cite examples of some healthy public policies that have been called paternalistic ;
- To determine whether a policy is actually paternalistic ;
- To conduct a critical and nuanced ethical analysis of paternalistic public health policies by determining what type of paternalism is in play in order to comparatively weigh it against the values that a policy promotes as well as those on which it impinges.
