This commentary takes up a challenge posed by Franklin Miller in a 2022 essay in Bioethics Forum. Dr. Miller queried whether bioethicists could be useful in public health policy contexts and while he refrained from issuing an ultimate opinion, did identify several challenges to such utility. The current piece responds to the challenges Dr. Miller identifies and argues that with appropriate training, public health ethicists can be of service in virtually any context in which public health policies are deliberated and decided.
这篇评论回应了富兰克林·米勒（Franklin Miller）在 2022 年《生物伦理学论坛》（Bioethics Forum）一文中提出的挑战。米勒博士质疑生物伦理学家在公共卫生政策环境中是否有用，尽管他没有给出最终意见，但确实指出了这种实用性所面临的几个挑战。本文回应了米勒博士所指出的挑战，并认为，经过适当的培训，公共卫生伦理学家几乎可以在审议和决定公共卫生政策的任何情况下提供帮助。
