Doctors, Vaccination, And Utilitarianism (1873)

By Henry Strickland Constable

Book Overview

Doctors, Vaccination, and Utilitarianism is a book written by Henry Strickland Constable in 1873. The book explores the concept of utilitarianism and its impact on the practice of medicine, particularly in relation to the controversial topic of vaccination. The author argues that the utilitarian approach to medicine, which prioritizes the greatest good for the greatest number of people, justifies the use of vaccination as a means of preventing the spread of disease. Constable provides a historical overview of vaccination, including its origins and the various controversies surrounding its use. He also discusses the role of doctors in promoting vaccination and the ethical considerations that arise when balancing individual rights with the collective good. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the ethical debates surrounding vaccination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
