Note that the 11th edition of the same text book (1980) had a chapter entitled “Legal and Ethical Issues in Public Health” by Sidney Shindell. The bulk of this chapter is devoted to legal issues in public health, however, rather than ethics issues, and thus is not discussed here.

During this period, there were numerous important contributions to ethics and epidemiology as well. These are not described in the main body of this work, however, as they relate to the large body of scholarship on research ethics than they do to defining an ethics of public health. Examples of such literature include Gordis L. Gold E. Seltser R. , “Privacy Protection in Epidemiologic and Medical Research: A Challenge and A Responsibility,” American Journal of Epidemiology 105 (1977): 163–168; Weed D.

Singer P. , One World: The Ethics of Globalization (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2002); By contrast, Ilona Kickbush notes that focusing arguments to reduce global poverty on self-interest may be strategic in the short run, but will not be as effective in the long run. It has been argued that the United States should commit funds to global public health in order to save the millions of dollars associated with global diseases increasingly affecting Americans, or the costs of global social unrest, terrorism, and violence borne out of poverty and poor health. Justifying aid this way, Kickbush suggests, has resulted in the United States moving out of multilateral public health and aid efforts and “reinforcing global unilateralism at a time when many of the health issues require a truly global response and the cooperation of many actors”.
