Conclusion.This book fills a gap in the literature on the Precautionary Principle by placing the principle within the wider context of precautionary reasoning and uses philosophical arguments and case studies to demonstrate when it does—and does not—apply. The book invites the reader to take a step back from the controversy surrounding the Precautionary Principle and consider the overarching rationales for responding to threats to the environment or public health. It provides practical guidance and probing insight for the intended audience, including scholars, students, journalists, and policymakers. .The International Library of Bioethics,2662-9194 ;86BioethicsPublic healthPolitical planningBioethicsPublic HealthPublic PolicyBioethics.Public health.Political planning.Bioethics.Public Health.Public Policy.174.2Resnik David B.971660MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484308203321Precautionary reasoning in environmental and public health policy2435382UNINA
