This seminal collection on the ethical issues associated with infectious disease is the first book to correct bioethics’ glaring neglect of this subject.
- Timely in view of public concern about SARS, AIDS, avian flu, bioterrorism and antibiotic resistance.
- Brings together new and classic papers by prominent figures.
- Tackles the ethical issues associated with issues such as quarantine, vaccination policy, pandemic planning, biodefense, wildlife disease and health care in developing countries.
"Altogether this set of essays would make compelling reading for any public-health practitioner or clinician interested in infectious diseases. I can give it unreserved recommendation.... The authors are to be commended for their attention to this topic and for inviting some of the best minds in bioethics to address some of the most difficult, but neglected, ethical issues in public health and medicine."
