An analysis of the four protocols with respect to personal autonomy
| Protocol | Ability to promote personal autonomy |
|---|---|
| Protocol 1: All persons who want to be testedcan be tested | Maximises personal autonomy by allowing all persons to decide for themselves |
| Protocol 2: All persons undergoing a medical procedure involving a high risk of transmissioncan be tested | Maintains personal autonomy but limits it to a subset of the population |
| Protocol 3: All persons must be tested | Fails to respect personal autonomy by removing choice for all persons |
| Protocol 4: All persons undergoing a medical procedure involving a high risk of transmissionmust be tested | Fails to respect personal autonomy by removing choice for a subset of the population |
