Reviews for Ethics and Infectious Disease
"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." Bulletin of the World Health Organisation
