HOMEWORK

1. Read the scenario on Smallpox entitled "Response To Bio-Terrorism" here --> LINK

    Answer the following, post responses to GC (I will check this in class), and prepare to discuss in class:

• • Is it ethical for the CDC to force people to get the vaccine?

  • An LA woman on the flight is religiously opposed to vaccines. Under California law she can normally refuse vaccines on religious or personal grounds. However, the government says she must receive the vaccine or face mandatory quarantine. What do you think of this?

  • Do you think that for more common diseases, for example measles, that it is ethical for the state to allow people to refuse vaccines (even for religious grounds)? What if their refusal can harm others who cannot have the vaccine, such as people who are immunocompromised like AIDS patients?

  • Is it ethical for someone to refuse the vaccine?
