AIDS Research DA – Animal Research KeyANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION RESOPNSIBLE FOR NEARLY EVERY MEDICAL ADVANCE Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, North Carolina State University, 2001, Defending Animal Rights, p. 70 Cohen’s reasoning in support of continued widespread and possibly expanded reliance on nonhuman animals in biomedical research is one of the utilitarian variety. “The sum of the benefits [of sing nonhuman animals in biomedical research] is utterly beyond quantification,” Cohen writes. “Almost every new drug discovered, almost every disease eliminated, almost every vaccine developed, almost every method of pain relief devised, almost every surgical procedure invented, almost every prosthetic device implanted—indeed, almost every modern medical therapy is due, in part or in whole, to experimentation using animal subjects.” AIDS Research DA – Vaccine Key to Prevent PandemicONLY A VACCINE WILL SOLVE THE GLOBAL AIDS PANDEMIC David Fidler, Professor of Law and Ira C. Batman Faculty Fellow @ Indiana University. “Fighting the Axis of Illness: HIV/AIDS, Human Rights, and U.S. Foreign Policy”. Harvard Environmental Law Review. 17 Harv. Hum. Rts. J. 99 2004 lexis The limited progress made to date against the devastating HIV/AIDS pandemic is, in the opinion of UNAIDS, inadequate n202 and, in the undiplomatic anger of the U.N. Special Envoy on AIDS in Africa, "the grotesque obscenity of the modern world." n203 Given this reality, the way in which HIV/AIDS, human rights, and U.S. foreign policy mix together may encourage people to see a vaccine for HIV/AIDS as the only viable option for mitigating the HIV/AIDS nightmare. n204 Technological advances in vaccines and antibiotics have, in the past, allowed public health authorities to reduce infectious disease threats temporarily (e.g., tuberculosis) or permanently (e.g., smallpox) without radical changes in national and international governance responses to global health problems. A safe, effective, and globally accessible vaccine would indeed be a scientific deus ex machina for the global struggle against HIV/AIDS. In the absence of this technological fix, the prospects for effectively fighting the axis of illness as manifested in the HIV/AIDS pandemic remain, despite increased political attention, funding, and new initiatives, n205 rather grim. n206

U.S. Foreign Policy and the HIV/AIDS Catastrophe in Sub-Saharan Africa”. Journal of Gender, Race & Justice. Lexis The global presence of HIV/AIDS and its continued penetration of populations around the world demonstrate that HIV and AIDS do not depend on the presence of particular climatic or cultural conditions. Another global infectious disease killer, malaria, differs in its threat profile because of the importance of a warm, wet climate to the mosquito vector. Tropical and equatorial regions face, therefore, a malaria threat greater than regions that experience suitable weather for mosquito populations only seasonably. n21 Culturally, HIV/AIDS has penetrated rich and poor countries, European and Asian cultures, homosexual and heterosexual populations, drug addicts and hemophiliacs, and countries at the heart and on the periphery of globalization. Historical precedents for such a rapid, global pandemic are hard to find. Perhaps the only pandemic that may serve as a modern precedent is the global influenza epidemic of 1918-1919, which killed an estimated twenty million people around the world. n22 Unlike HIV/AIDS, however, the great influenza pandemic came and went quickly and did not continue to wreak morbidity and mortality year in and year out. HIV/AIDS has become endemic in every region of the world, posing a continual public health problem for governments, international organizations, [*103] and non-state actors. In this respect, HIV/AIDS resembles the global threat smallpox once posed to societies around the world before the development of effective vaccines and ultimately the eradication of the disease. n23 Worryingly, experts believe that the global HIV/AIDS pandemic is still in its early stages rather than being on the path to control or eradication through an effective vaccine. n24 AIDS Research DA – Racism ImpactsTHE GLOBAL DESTRUCTION HAS JUST BEGUN – AIDS WILL CONTINUE TO RAVAGE THE WORLD UNTIL A VACCINE IS CREATED David Fidler, Professor of Law and Ira C.
