The Complementary Roles of Ethics and Law in Improving the Public’s Health
Public health officials regularly have to balance competing ethical, legal and professional obligations (e.g., allocating scarce resources efficiently but fairly, protecting community health without violating individual rights, or conducting surveillance while ensuring data confidentiality). Compared to the patient focus of clinical ethics or the bioethical focus on individual autonomy, public health ethics explores ethical issues that arise at the population level. This population focus raises special ethical challenges, such as how to work across sectors, engage communities, and incorporate a variety of stakeholder values and interests in making decisions. Public health ethics provides an approach for evaluating, prioritizing, and weighing these interests and values and sometimes negotiating compromises between them.
Those in practice regularly consider ethical issues under the rubric of a thorny practical problem. They often lack awareness that resources and procedures are available to address these problems. Recognizing their ethical aspects allows practitioners to utilize ethics resources and address these problems more confidently and effectively. Leonard Ortmann will explore the unique problems and principles that arise in the field of public health ethics and distinguish them from those in research ethics, clinical ethics, and bioethics. He will also illustrate how ethical values and scientific facts can work in tandem to tackle thorny problems. Because statutory authority plays a key role in public health, Matthew Penn will consider how law and ethics complement each other in public health. Kathy Kinlaw will consider innovative approaches for training the next generation of public health professionals to foster their ability to recognize and address ethical challenges. Because community trust is equally key to success in public health, both she and Leonard Ortmann will discuss ways to engage the public to foster trust in public health recommendations. Drue Barrett will describe resources for building skills in public health ethics. To enhance the learning experience, the workshop will include interactive activities, such as discussion of cases, instructor modeling, and large and small group discussions.
Workshop Learning Objectives:
- Distinguish the field of public health ethics from other fields of ethics.
- Describe how public health ethics and law can work together to address ethical challenges.
- List practical approaches for training public health students and professions about the ethical practice of public health.
- Discuss approaches for building trust in public health recommendations.
- Describe resources for building skills in public health ethics

The 2020 Graduate Student and Early Career Scholar Seminar is a 2.5 hour workshop offered on Thursday from 12:30 – 3 p.m. in conjunction with the 2020 APPE Annual Conference on Thursday.
This highly interactive seminar is intended for graduate students and early career scholars who are currently teaching classes in ethics (for less than three years) or who have plans to do so. It is designed to boost confidence, confront pedagogical issues and provide philosophical comfort. Topics for the session include learning goals, pedagogical approaches and assessment strategies. Prior to the seminar, participants will be invited to help shape the session to meet individual needs.
Enrollment is limited and on a first come basis.
Taught by Dr. Wendy Wyatt
Wyatt has been an active member of APPE for 20 years and has a longstanding interest in ethics teaching, which started at the University of Montana where she pursued a master’s in philosophy with a teaching ethics emphasis. Most of Wyatt’s ethics teaching has been in the areas of media and communication, and she has taught the capstone ethics course in the St. Thomas Communication and Journalism department for 15 years. She has also worked with elementary and middle school students, community groups, professional organizations and senior citizen programs. Wyatt is the author or editor of three books, and her work on journalism ethics and ethics pedagogy appears in several edited volumes and journals. Recently, Wyatt was part of the five-person editorial team that guided development of the Online News Association’s Build Your Own Ethics Code platform. This crowd-sourced tool, funded by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, allows journalists to easily customize and publish a digital ethics code.

Seminar Abstract
Educational institutions offer students numerous courses on ethical decision-making; the hope is that students become ethical employees well equipped to make ethical decisions.
Organizational ethics and compliance programs must incorporate values, purpose, and rules, and also educate employees about how to respond to situations that present ethical and compliance dilemmas in their work.
By bringing together compliance professionals and ethicists during this APPE program, participants will see the essential symbiosis of ethics and compliance, develop better understandings and more effective education materials, and form mutually beneficial working relationships.

Victims Again?
Pursuing Justice for the Subjects of the
Public Health Service/ Guatemala STD Studies
Since an historian’s revelation in 2010 of archival records describing a United States Public Health Service study carried out just after World War II, the research scandal involving intentional infection of some 1300 Guatemalans with syphilis and other STDs has periodically returned to the headlines. That news initially prompted an apology by President Obama to the President of Guatemala, and an investigative report from the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues entitled “Ethically Impossible” STD Research in Guatemala from 1946-1948. Despite promises from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to invest $1.8 million to “improve the treatment and prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases,” neither that funding nor any money to compensate the families of people victimized in the research debacle has reached Guatemala.
One class action lawsuit by the families of victims against the US government was dismissed in 2012. A second suit asking $1 billion in damages was filed in 2015 against Johns Hopkins University, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Bristol-Myers Squibb on behalf of more than 840 Guatemalans. Most recently, a motion for sanctions against the lawyers bringing that suit has been filed. Depositions and other material collected during discover has “revealed that plaintiffs’ claims are based on manufactured evidence, false sworn statements, and unsupportable allegations,” according to the brief of the defendants. The numbers of Guatemalan plaintiffs has been dramatically reduced, and approximately 150 remain in the lawsuit.
This paper will analyze the path of litigation and explore the likelihood that this lawsuit may well turn out to be but another episode in the re-victimization of people in Guatemala who still await redress for the wrongs done to their families more than 70 years ago.
Topic Table Luncheon
Table 1:
How Should We Deal with Ethicists Who Behave Unethically?
Convenor: Charlotte McDaniel, Emory University
We affirm the contributions of our work in ethics and the parallel importance of providing guidance, even modeling, of ethical behavior by those of us engaging this field. However, as much as we assume our colleagues behave in ethical manner; unfortunately, that is not the case. While it is more rare than common, when unethical behaviors occur they pose sensitive and difficult issues. This Table Topic will engage attendees in shared constructive conversation about cases that occurred, what an appropriate response is; raise the question of whether there is an association or ‘institutional’ policy response we might consider. Please join us for this timely and important—and rarely discussed—Table Topic.
Table 2:
The Ethics in Political Communication and Advocacy
Convenor: Peter Loge, The George Washington University
How do we teach our students to be ethical advocates? What are the ethics of advocacy? Schools increasingly offer majors, minors, graduate degrees and certificates in political communication. Countless students take courses in speechwriting, strategic political communication, digital advocacy, and related courses. Given the importance this communication to our democratic experiment, ethics should be part of political communication courses and curriculum, political communication ethics should be a field of academic analysis, and political communication professionals and engaged citizens should consider the ethics of their actions. What does that look like? How do we accomplish these goals?
Table 3:
Ethical Issues in Higher Education
Convenors: Marcia McKelligan and Jessica Mejia, DePauw University
Everyone agrees that higher education in the United States faces profound challenges – financial, demographic, political, and social – and that these challenges raise compelling and complex moral questions. Meeting these challenges requires informed and well-reasoned responses to the underlying questions and hence inquiry into the purpose and value of higher education and careful consideration of the interests, rights and responsibilities of administrators and trustees, students and alumni, and the public. We are in the early stages of a book project on ethics and higher education. At our table discussion, taking case studies on free speech and diversity as a starting point, we hope to stimulate a conversation about some moral problems in academia today and discuss what the most urgent and interesting issues are.
Table 4:
Should Barr be Disbarred?
Convenor: Elliot Cohen, National Philosophical Counseling Association
A petition is circulating to disbar U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr from practicing law in New York and the District of Columbia, where he is licensed. The petition alleges that Barr should be disbarred for conduct largely pursued in his present capacity as attorney general. This topical discussion will look at the evidence to back up the charge that Barr satisfies the legal criteria for disbarment pursuant to the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct; and, in light of this discussion, consider whether the New York and Washington, D.C., bar associations should take action to disbar Barr.
