1. Discuss the delicate balance of public health protection versus individual liberty (i.e., personal rights and free will).

2. Suppose a public health policy, such as quarantine, violates an individual’s liberty. Do you believe it must satisfy all of the justificatory conditions (i.e., effectiveness, necessity, least infringement, proportionality, impartiality, public justification) in order to be considered ethically acceptable?

3. Why or why not? Defend your position.
