GIVING COMFORT AND INFLICTING PAIN (Int'l Inst Qualitative Methodology Serie)

A major topic in biomedical ethics, AIDS is discussed here in this context in a single volume that will serve as a valuable resource for public health workers, doctors, care givers and managers in the workplace, all of whom confront ethical problems in their handling of the disease. It is intended also as a textbook for students of medical ethics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and addresses some of the fault lines that emerge in finding a global solution to the pandemic, as well as the radical changes AIDS is likely to leave in its wake.
