University of Texas at Arlington Ethical Dilemmas Case Study
Description
Complete the Readings & Case Review handout, below, in which you will examine and analyze the case study: Ethical dilemmas in population-level treatment of lead poisoning in Zamfara State, Nigeria.
You should carefully read all the perspective articles to gain an overarching view of the arguments made by the ethicists regarding how Medecins Sans Frontieres’ (MSF) = Doctors Without Borders should act in the lead poisoning situation in Nigeria. Note the similarities and the differences among their arguments and recommendations.
- Perspective 1: Dr. Selgelid briefly outlines the key ethical issues of the case and sets up the relevant questions and considerations.
- Perspective 2: Dr. Reid then delves further into the ethical dilemmas and consequences that could arise due to MSF’s choice of whether or not to treat the children for lead poisoning.
- Perspective 3: Finally, Dr. Pringle, who was personally involved in the response to the lead-poisoning outbreak, steps back and evaluates the situation in Nigeria from the broad, long-term perspective of the potential ethical ramifications of humanitarian organizations responding to environmental health problems in developing countries.
