Generosity is a quality that doesn’t usually go unnoticed in a situation involving life and death.

The latest talk of generosity is being contemplated in the medical field, particularly in the fight against AIDS.

Since the recent development of combination drugs called protease inhibitors, the number of AIDS cases has seen a slight decrease.

However, only 6 percent of AIDS victims have access to these drugs.

As a result, frustration for creating an AIDS vaccine continues.

This is where the generosity comes in.

Several doctors now want to volunteer to have a live form of the AIDS virus injected into them.

As a result, they would be used as subjects to test any new research for a cure that is being developed.

Currently, there are no human subjects with the live form of the virus being used as volunteers.

The motivating factor behind injecting the doctors is so a vaccine can quickly be created.

Doctors being used as subjects isn’t a new concept. However, while they should be commended for their courage, the motivating factor isn’t ethical.

Injecting doctors with AIDS doesn’t guarantee that researchers will create a vaccine quickly.

It doesn’t guarantee that, if a vaccine is created, these doctors will live to see it.

Not to say a vaccine won’t be created in the next few years, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Enough people in the world already are have AIDS.

Members of the medical community don’t need to add to the numbers by volunteering to potentially kill themselves in the near future.

AIDS is still a deadly killer, and it still needs to be researched carefully.
