In what way does the notion of human rights conflict with the mission of public health?
Human rights may be regarded as individual in nature, and thus the "rights" of one are weighed heavily. However, the mission of public health is the protection and safety of the larger community, and in certain cases individual human rights must be trumped by the need to protect the larger population and improve the health of the community.
