Should a physician with AIDS be required to inform his or her
patients? Does a physician have an obligation to warn the partner
who wants this fact kept secret? Should all newborns and pregnant
women be screened for HIV? Should insurance companies be required
to insure patients who test positive for the disease? Professionals
and society at large are confronted by a wide range of complex
ethical issues produced by the AIDS health crisis.
"AIDS and Ethics" is the first major collection of essays on
the complex ethical issues created by the AIDS crisis. The nation's
leading bioethics experts from the fields of law, medicine,
philosophy, political science, religion, and social work present
original and accessible essays. They address current controversial
issues related to the tension between civil rights and public
health, mandatory HIV testing, human subjects research, health care
insurance, AIDS education, militant AIDS activism, the
physician-patient relationship, issues of privacy, and legal
issues. This important book will provide philosophical and
practical guidelines to health care and human service
professionals, policy makers, scholars, and others affected by the
AIDS crisis.
