The Patient as Victim and Vector: Ethics and Infectious Disease

ISBN: 9780195335835 出版年：2008 页码：576 Battin, Margaret P Francis, Leslie P Jacobson, Jay A Oxford University Press

This volume is jointly written by four authors at the University of Utah with expertise in bioethics, health law, and infectious disease. In collaboration they attempt to develop a normative framework sensitive to situations of disease transmission- situations in which the patient is not only a victim but a vector; i.e. vulnerable to disease but also a threat to others.
