Many methods exist for ethical analysis guiding decision-making. This essay presents only one method. Both facts and values are employed with this method and, as an example we use a Swedish preventative measure for individuals who abuse narcotics. The ethical analysis presupposes good knowledge of the case at hand and the approach recommended is a combination of stakeholder analysis and decision matrix analysis.
