'...a significant contribution.' - Julia Neuberger, Patient Voice 'This collection constitutes a most excellent and comprehensive contribution to thinking about a subject of all too rapidly growing practical importance.' - Antony Flew, Journal of Applied Philosophy 'a useful addition to the library of anyone interested in bioethics in virtue of the generally high quality of the contributions. And because of the clarity with which they have been written, it would be an ideal student text.' - Elizabeth Prior Jonson, Bioethics AIDS raises a number of ethical and social problems which must inevitably be confronted by the whole community, by people with AIDS and their relatives, and by those professionally involved. This book challenges polarised positions on these issues. In contrast to the one-sided and divisive proposals of those who set civil rights against public health and vice versa, it argues for a two-pronged approach which, in the face of a virus which attacks human beings in their reproductive function, accepts both the rights of individuals to sexual self-fulfilment, and also the need to protect the unaffected from infection.
