Abstract

This article combines the researched sciences of logic, philosophy, and medicine to develop a perspective on safety belt laws. The positions of advocacy and opposition are examined primarily by a nonphysician in a reasonably unbiased manner. The result is an enhanced awareness of principles not commonly employed by physicians which may be useful to the medical profession in dealing with this controversy.
