Biomedical Ethics Reviews is an annual publication designed to
review and update the literature on issues of central importance in
bioethics today. Ordinarily, more than one topic is discussed in
each volume of Biomedical Ethics Reviews. This year, however, we
have decided to devote the entire volume of Biomedical Ethics
Reviews: 1988 to disussion of one topic, namely, AIDS. The ra
tionale for this decision should be clear: AIDS is arguably the
most serious public health threat facing our nation today, and the
char acter of the disease is such that it creates special problems
for ethicists, philosophers, theologians, educators, jurists,
health care professionals, and politicians. Indeed, the questions
that AIDS gives rise to are so numerous and complex that no one
text could hope to treat them exhaustively. Still, if it is
impossible, in anyone text, to deal with all of the perplexing
difficulties that AIDS generates, it nevertheless remains true that
each addition to the AIDS literature contributes to our collective
knowledge, and in so doing, brings us one step closer to resolving
at least some of the problems associated with the disease. We
believe that the articles included in the present volume of
Biomedical Ethics Reviews serve this purpose admirably, and we hope
the reader will agree. James M. Humber Robert F. Almeder vii
