The Ethics of Fluoridation

»		The Ethics of water fluoridation (Published in One in a Million)

»		The professional philosopher's view (The Ethics of Fluoridation by Professor John Harris)

»		Fluoridation and individual freedom

"The right to fluoride free water is not a basic civil right. ... It is not a right which affects the ability of individuals to make autonomous choices ...

In considering the ethics of fluoridation ... we should ask not are we entitled to impose fluoridation on unwilling people, but are the unwilling people entitled to impose the risks, damage and costs of failure to fluoridate on the community at large."

- Professor John Harris, Centre for Social Ethics and Policy,
University of Manchester. 1998.
