Libertarian

Very strongly agree

No, scientific consensus can quickly change and patients should be allowed to try unconventional ideas

This answer aligns closely with libertarian values of individual choice, skepticism of authority, and the belief in the dynamic nature of knowledge and science. Libertarians would argue that scientific consensus is not infallible and that individuals should have the freedom to explore alternative approaches to health, especially in light of how scientific understandings can evolve over time.

Strongly agree

No

Libertarians would likely support this stance as it aligns with their emphasis on personal freedom and skepticism of government or authoritative intervention in professional practices. They would argue that doctors should have the liberty to express their professional opinions without fear of penalty, as long as they are not causing direct harm to their patients.

Strongly agree

No, but the doctors should be required to disclose that the advice contradicts contemporary scientific consensus

Libertarians would likely support this approach as it balances the freedom of doctors to provide the advice they believe in with the need for patients to be informed about the nature of the advice they are receiving. This solution respects individual autonomy and informed choice without resorting to punitive measures.

Agree

No, only when the advice was proven to harm the patient

This answer might be somewhat supported by libertarians as it introduces a harm principle criterion, suggesting that doctors should not be penalized unless their advice causes harm. This aligns with the libertarian emphasis on freedom until the point of causing harm to others.

Disagree

Yes, this will decrease the amount of misinformation patients receive

While libertarians are concerned with the spread of misinformation, they are more likely to oppose regulatory measures as a means to combat it, especially when it involves penalizing professionals for dissenting views. They would likely argue that the best way to combat misinformation is through education and open debate rather than punitive measures.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarian ideology generally emphasizes individual freedom and autonomy, including in medical decisions. Penalizing doctors for giving advice that contradicts contemporary scientific consensus could be seen as limiting a doctor's freedom to practice medicine as they see fit and a patient's right to receive diverse opinions. Libertarians might argue that the marketplace of ideas should determine the value of medical advice rather than regulatory bodies.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and the doctors should also lose their medical license

This answer would be strongly opposed by libertarians as it represents a significant intervention by regulatory bodies into the practice of medicine, potentially infringing on the rights of doctors to practice their profession and the rights of patients to seek the medical advice of their choosing. Libertarians generally oppose such heavy-handed regulatory measures, especially those that could lead to a loss of professional licensure based on dissenting opinions.
