Ethical dilemmas in HIV infection: what have we learned?
Article Abstract:
The AIDS disease has created new ethical issues and revised old issues. One new problem concerns treating medical patients who want to try unproven or experimental therapies since they may not have the time to wait for a proven method. Another problem concerns the protection of partners of HIV-positive persons through the traditional practice of notification when disclosure could jeopardize the insurance or employment of the person.

Hospice care as an alternative to euthanasia
Article Abstract:
Physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia should remain illegal because hospice care is a proper alternative. Euthanasia would hinder progress to relieve the suffering of terminal patients. Hospice care helps the strongest needs of the dying including autonomy, control, lessening pain and preventing loneliness. Killing is not the solution to dying and suffering.
