    • 2.Stigmatization creates systemic barriers (employment, housing, healthcare access) that compound disadvantage regardless of individual merit.
      ?

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing stigmatization from reasonable preference-formation is unclear; some differentiation based on health outcomes may be justified.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dignity violations require intentional dehumanization; stigma arising from public health communication or preference expression may not qualify.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
