Both/And Rather Than Either/Or

Many of those involved already in the deliberation regarding individual rights and collective responsibilities have framed the policy as an either/or option. I will frame our analysis around these two polar-opposite stances and begin by identifying some of the benefits and disadvantages associated with each perspective. The benefits in both cases yield both short-term (tactical) and long-term (strategic) outcomes.

                                                                                BENEFITS

                            FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS                 FOCUS ON COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY

The disadvantages I offer relate to what we don’t know and what might be an unexpected and devastating outcome

                                                                          DISADVANTAGES                                                                      

                                INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS                                                   COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBLITY
