With no immediate prospect of vaccination or cure, how can liberty, dignity, and reasoned hope be preserved in the shadow of an epidemic? In this humane and graceful book, philosopher Timothy Murphy offers insight into our attempts--popular and academic, American and non-American, scientific and political--to make moral sense of pain. Murphy addresses the complex moral questions raised by AIDS for health-care workers, politicians, policy makers, and even people with AIDS themselves. He ranges widely, analyzing contrasting visions of the origin and the future of the epidemic, the moral and political functions of obituaries, the uncertain value of celebrity involvement in anti-AIDS education, the functional uses of AIDS in the discourse of presidential campaigns, the exclusionary function of HIV testing for immigrants, the priority given to AIDS on the national health agenda, and the hypnotic publicity given to "innocent" victims. Murphy's discussions of the many social and political confusions about AIDS are unified by his attempt to articulate the moral assumptions framing our interpretations of the epidemic. By understanding those assumptions, we will be in a better position to resist self-serving and invidious moralizing, reckless political response, and social censure of the sick and the dying. 606 $aAIDS (Disease) 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aAIDS (Disease) 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a362.1969792 700 $aMurphy$b Timothy F.$f1955-$0117379 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496145203321 996 $aEthics in an Epidemic$93417976 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01002nam0 22002771i 450 001 RML0289282 005 20231121125735.0 100 $a20121121d1984 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $afre 102 $afr 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aMichel François$e1906-1981$f[Bernard Barbiche] 210 $aParis $c[s.n.] $d1984 215 $aP. 383-402, 1 ritr.$d24 cm 300 $aEstr. da: Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des chartes, t. 141 (1983) 606 $aFrançois, Michel$2FIR$3RMLC384557$9I 700 1$aBarbiche$b, Bernard$3RMLV173898$0210990 801 3$aIT$bIT-01$c20121121 850 $aIT-FR0017 899 $aBiblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea$bFR0017 912 $aRML0289282 950 0$aBiblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea$d 52COBAL MISC.Battelli 162$e 52VM 0000587085 VM barcode:ACQ933. - Inventario:COBALVM$fB $h20051216$i20121204 977 $a 52 996 $aMichel François$93627709 997 $aUNICAS
