- Title
PENALIZING PREVENTION: THE PARADOXICAL LEGAL TREATMENT OF PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE.
- Authors
Dorfman, Doron
- Abstract
The article "Penalizing Prevention: The Paradoxical Legal Treatment of Preventative Medicine" by Doron Dorfman explores how preventive medicine is both endorsed and penalized by the law. The author argues that preventive medicine is often stigmatized and penalized due to perceived risks associated with users' behavior and character. The article provides case studies on the regulation of HIV prophylactic drug PrEP, mental health treatment, and the public use of the opioid reverser naloxone to demonstrate how the law penalizes prevention. The author calls for harmonizing the legal regulation of preventive medicine to allow for its important goals to be achieved.
