"Medical  ethics" have nothing to do with approval by local officials of the concentration level of an existing mineral in drinking water supplies.   Anyone who does not like the content of any particular water supply is entirely free to obtain their water from another source with a content more to their personal preference.  If your tap water was laced with a high level of cyanide would you drink it simply because it flows from your faucet?  No, of course not.  You would drink bottled water, rain water, water from rivers and streams, or wherever else you could obtain it.  You would not believe you are forced to drink cyanide laced water simply because it flows from your faucet.  The same is true for anyone with an objection to fluoride in their water.

Inconvenience, regardless the degree, does not equate with force, and because you pay a local water bill does not give you the right to water with a content customized to your personal preference.
