Negotiating an AIDS vaccine
Article Abstract:
Christine Grady looks at the ethical issues surrounding the development and testing of an AIDS vaccine in her new book. Although her book remains a meaningful contribution, however, her analysis of ethical dilemmas is not as deep as one would have wished. Despite these, her suggestions regarding a community-based ethics consisting of town meetings, risk-benefit analysis and participation of community leaders are most welcome.
