Tlamelo : The Church Against
AIDS
Author : John Dubbey
Publisher: Kachere Series, Malawi North American Distribution,
2006
ISBN : 9990876460 (paperback)
 Botswana,
famous for having refused to squander its natural
wealth, is also famous for having the highest HIV
infection rate in the world. What does a church do
when confronted with such a situation? This book not
only describes how one congregation, the Open Baptist
Church in Gaborone, reacted to it, but it also reflects
on how the Christian faith can deal with HIV and AIDS.
The situation is desperate, but there is hope.
Ethics and AIDS in Africa: The Challenge to Our
Thinking
Editors: Anton A. Van Niekerk and Loretta M. Kopelman
Publisher: Left Coast Press, California, 2006
ISBN : 1-59874-071-7 (Paperback)
 This
book systematically reviews the ethical implications
of the AIDS pandemic in Africa, examining in the process
such pressing questions as: How do we deal with the
uncertainties surrounding AIDS statistics? What is
the relationship between AIDS and poverty? Is the
developed world responding responsibly and justly
to this crisis in the developing World? Is it moral
for companies to make profits from AIDS drugs? Ought
we to include children in research for AIDS vaccines,
and if so, how? Why do people persist in regarding
AIDS as punishment for sin?
Internationally acclaimed experts
in their fields, most of them Africans, come together
here to address these questions. Their contributions
serve as a valuable resource for health workers, doctors,
caregivers, managers in the workplace, and for students
of medical ethics at undergraduate and postgraduate
levels.
