The Interconnected Epidemics Of Drug Dependency And Aids, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1991

The Interconnected Epidemics Of Drug Dependency And Aids, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Drug dependence and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are America's two most pressing epidemics, interconnected by a cycle of urban poverty, physical dependence and a culture of sharing needles and syringes. Extant political strategies to curb these interconnected epidemics involve two traditional approaches. The first--law enforcement and interdiction--is designed to limit the supply of illicit drugs to the marketplace. This strategy is advanced by broad criminal sanctions against importing, selling, distributing, medically prescribing, or possessing illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia. The second strategy to combat the drug and HIV epidemics involves reducing the demand for illicit drugs. Education, counseling, and treatment …


An Alternative Public Health Vision For A National Drug Strategy: "Treatment Works", Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1991

An Alternative Public Health Vision For A National Drug Strategy: "Treatment Works", Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article returns to a war waged virtually throughout this century--a war between the theories of punishment and rehabilitation in curtailing the drug epidemic. Today, the terms of the war are recast as supply-side policies based upon law enforcement; destroying crops in source countries; interdiction and increased sentencing; and demand reduction based upon prevention, education, and treatment. The war on drugs has reached a feverish pitch. New policies and statutes have tightened the grip of supply-side policies, with images of battle and hate mongering which go beyond the vilified drug lords and governments which harbor them, to the middle men, …


Ethical Principles For The Conduct Of Human Subject Research: Population-Based Research And Ethics, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1991

Ethical Principles For The Conduct Of Human Subject Research: Population-Based Research And Ethics, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This paper provides a halting first step in organizing a set of ethical guidelines for the conduct of population-based research, surveillance and practice. These principles are not distinct from, but an expansion of, traditional ethics. Research ethics, which matured significantly from the Nuremberg Code through to the Helsinki IV and the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) guidelines, nourished the individual human spirit. Ethical principles should have a similarly profound impact in the development of science and the protection of human populations in the 1990s and beyond.


Genetic Discrimination: The Use Of Genetically Based Diagnostic And Prognostic Tests By Employers And Insurers, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1991

Genetic Discrimination: The Use Of Genetically Based Diagnostic And Prognostic Tests By Employers And Insurers, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This paper analyzes the law, ethics and public policy concerning "genetic discrimination," defined as the denial of rights, privileges or opportunities on the basis of information obtained from genetically based diagnostic and prognostic tests. The Human Genome Initiative will enhance the ability to gather and organize information that may predict a person's future potential and disabilities. Enormous human benefits may ensue from understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of genetic disorders, including disease prevention through genetic counseling, and treatment of the disorders through genetic manipulation. This information will help clinicians understand and eventually treat many of the more than 4,000 diseases …

A Decade Of A Maturing Epidemic: An Assessment And Directions For Future Public Policy, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1990

A Decade Of A Maturing Epidemic: An Assessment And Directions For Future Public Policy, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The author's goal in this article, is not merely to propose public health strategies for the future, but also to examine why government has been so slow, so equivocal, in its public health response to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. He argues that there has been a fundamental ambivalence in perceptions of the epidemic. For some, AIDS is perceived as a disease, with sympathy for sufferers. Once AIDS is viewed as a disease, like other catastrophic diseases, it follows that public policy will be based upon science and epidemiology--health education, research and treatment.

For others, AIDS is caused …
