TB Matters More	2008		.txt	text/plain	6089	282	53	How should the social aim to promote public health be balanced against the aim to protect human rights and liberties in the context of diseases that are to varying degrees contagious, dangerous or deadly? A major topic of debate in the context of HIV/AIDS research has been the question of what should count as an ethically acceptable control arm in studies involving human subjects. In cases where a contagious patient fails to take adequate precautions to avoid infecting others-and fails to warn close contacts about his infectious status-then the question of whether or not the health worker should inform identifiable third parties at risk arises. Bioethics should consider the extent to which current surveillance measures are-or the extent to which more wide-reaching surveillance measures would be-justified in the context of TB, especially now that MDRTB and XDR-TB are growing threats to global public health.	./cache/cord-017061-vk55gm0j.txt	./txt/cord-017061-vk55gm0j.txt
