If we're living in a democracy that practices robust good science there should be a robust and informative discussion followed by a vote to decide whether their community should mass medicate the public water supply or not.
No. A democratic vote for a community effort like zoning is fine, but no authority or majority has the right to mandate medication for individuals, especially not by using the water system where dose can not be controlled and people with reason to avoid fluoride cannot opt out. This is consistent with the UNESCO documents on Medical Consent, My POV: More power to you if fluoridation doesn't bother you, but not the power to assume it is safe for your neighbor with kidney disease, his pregnant wife or their diabetic daughter!
