Career

Daniel A. Leone's The Spread of AIDS is the collection of 16 uncut articles which focus on controversies surrounding measures that are being taken (or are being considered) to control the AIDS epidemic: mandatory, routine HIV testing of various groups such as infants, pregnant women, marriage-license applicants, and hospital patients; AIDS education, particularly aimed at high-risk populations; hypodermic needle-exchange programs for addicts; condom distribution in schools; and the need for global strategies targeting prevention and treatment in third-world countries. In this book, experts offer their opinions on controversial subjects facing our society today.

Physician-assisted Suicide includes eleven essays by physicians, lawyers, bioethics experts, and even philosophers who contribute to this emotionally charged debate. The longest and densest section is the brief promoting physician-assisted suicide as a constitutional right. The Ethics of Euthanasia (1999) examines the ethical and moral issues of euthanasia, with opposing opinions on the rights of terminal care patients and the social and religious debate over the right to die. Anorexia (2001) explores such issues surrounding the eating disorder as its signs, causes, treatment, instances among athletes, and insurance coverage, and shares the experiences of male and female anorexics. Leone's one more book is Responding to the AIDS Epidemic (2006).
