Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The AIDS epidemic has raised a number of disturbing questions. The essays presented here by Reamer explore notions of individual rights, community rights, civil obligation, justice, and even the legitimacy of government. In the introductory essay, the editor considers the relevance of ethics in modern society and dismisses the proposition that expert advice confounds the issues with relativism and moral skepticism. AIDS policy issues stemming from public health concerns are the topic of three essays. The remaining contributions deal with health insurance underwriting, public health education, the roles of activists as well as healthcare professionals. Finally, legal questions and court decisions are reviewed to synthesize this conflict between the individual and the community. Highly recommended for academic libraries.

Review
Important and timely, . . . thoughtful and thought-provoking. . . . A collection of up-to-date, theoretically sophisticated but accessible commentaries on some of the most important issues vexing researchers, policymakers, care givers, advocates, and ethicists today. -- New England Journal of Medicine
