Description
Tess Johnson, writing alone, offers a 2024 ethics paper on rules that limit the use of germ-fighting drugs. Drug resistance is a slow, serious threat to people, animals, and the wider world. A rule of caution says that when harm is unsure but grave, steps may be taken early to stop it, such as caps on drug use in clinics and farms.
Johnson argues that the rule of caution should not stand alone in such choices. It weighs how big each harm is, but not who bears it. If the costs of strict rules fall on groups already poorly served, justice is at stake. Ethics reviews should weigh that spread as well.
