Expert Statement
My specialisation is the moral justification of preventive measures in infectious disease control that limit the liberty of individuals. In my PhD thesis (2014) I focus on the harm principle as a possible justification of such measures. The harm principle roughly entails that it is justified to restrict the liberty of person A to prevent A from causing harm to others. This is the central argument underlying the Dutch Public Health Act. I have examined to what extent different normative ethical and political theories can support this principle, and common measures that are legally allowed.
