Value Foundations for Drug Use

Author:

Veatch Robert M.

Abstract

This article investigates the relationship of value foundations to the use of drugs. The argument is presented that it is logically impossible to make drug use decisions without evaluating the outcomes of various alternatives and choosing the most highly valued in the circumstances. A map of the major value foundations upon which drug choices might be made is provided, and their relationship to one particular drug category, the anti-anxiety agents or tranquilizers, is explored. The conclusion is reached that a purely therapeutic drug ethic may be problematic as an acceptable basis for drug use.
