About the Book

In Freedom vs. Intervention, Daniel E. Lee addresses questions around such controversial issues as abortion, legalization of physician-assisted suicide and recreational use of marijuana, and the right to refuse medical treatment, taking an innovative approach by applying traditional just war criteria to questions of intervention. Noting that intervening in the lives of other people is always a costly option, he argues that it should be done only if there are compelling reasons for doing so, only if it is the last resort after other options have been exhausted, and only if there is reason to believe that intervening will make the situation better, rather than worse. And in all cases, he suggests, this ethic of reluctant intervention should be accompanied by compassion and understanding. The accessible tone and topical focus of this volume make it a compelling text supplement for undergraduate and continuing education courses in ethics and contemporary moral problems.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 Motorcycle Helmet Laws Chapter 4 Physician-Assisted Suicide Chapter 5 Recreational Use of Marijuana Chapter 6 Abortion Chapter 7 Parental Refusal of Beneficial Medical Treatment for For Their Children Chapter 8 Private Property Rights and the Endangered Species Act Chapter 9 Index

About the Author :
Daniel E. Lee is professor of ethics at Augustana College (Illinois) and director of the Augustana Center for the Study of Ethics.

Review :
This book would make an excellent supplement to an introductory ethics course. Summing Up: Recommended. The adage “hard cases make bad law” remains true but it is also true that hard cases remain with us and must be resolved. Daniel Lee’s book both engages the difficulties of hard cases of the individual interest vs. the public good in public policy and provides a useful and clear method for engaging the complex ethical issues in these cases. Students and faculty will find this a practical guide for ensuring that all the elements in these cases are raised and evaluated.
