AIDS and 'dirt': Reflections on the ethics of ritual cleanliness

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 11 (3) (1990)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

AIDS and the responses and attitudes it evokes surpass the analytic abilities of standard bioethics. These responses and attitudes are explored in terms of literary and anthropological categories, such as dirt, disorder, pollution and ritual cleanliness. Implications for medical education are suggested.
