Brent admired the chimpanzee he sketched at the zoo. He regarded
the animal as contemplative. He was unaware that similar animals in
the wilds of Africa were the source of a virus that would lead to
his death from AIDS. Brent became infected with HIV from the
medicine he infused to treat his hemophilia. At six months of age,
his parents were alarmed when they discovered bruises on his chest
which led to the discovery of hemophilia. From that moment forward,
he received frequent intravenous infusions of concentrate to treat
recurrent bleeding episodes. Infusions of the medicine relieved
pain and suffering from bleeding. His life seemed normal.
Unexpectedly, Brent's life changed after the discovery of HIV
contamination of the medicine. The medicine was manufactured from
the plasma of paid blood donors. Unbeknownst to Brent, the plasma
was polluted with HIV. The SIV in chimpanzees changed to become HIV
in humans. But the chimpanzees were not the cause of the transfer
of SIV in animals to HIV in humans. The change from SIV in animals
to HIV in humans was the result of human activity. The change came
about with the production of the hepatitis B vaccine. Who was
responsible for the pollution of the hemophilia medicine with HIV
and hepatitis viruses? Was Brent's death preventable?
