This article considers what can be learned regarding the ethical acceptability of intrusive interventions intended to halt the spread of infectious disease ('Infection Control' measures) from existing ethical discussion of intrusive interventions used to prevent criminal conduct ('Crime Control' measures). The main body of the article identifies and briefly describes six objections that have been advanced against Crime Control, and considers how these might apply to Infection Control. The final section then draws out some more general lessons from the foregoing analysis for the ethical acceptability of different kinds of Infection Control.
本文从现有针对预防犯罪行为的侵入性干预措施(“犯罪控制”措施)的伦理讨论出发,探讨了旨在阻止传染病传播的侵入性干预措施(“感染控制”措施)在伦理上可接受性的问题。文章主体部分识别并简要描述了针对犯罪控制提出的六个反对意见,并探讨了这些意见如何适用于感染控制。最后一节从上述分析中得出了一些更普遍的结论,即不同类型的感染控制措施在伦理上的可接受性。
