>Dear sir/madam,
>This seems to be a very interesting case for ethical thinking.
>  As a country with a generation dying of AIDS, it would be have been 
> unethical to stop the drug from being used to protect the future generation.
>Eventhough the French may have found some problem, to stop them from using 
>the drug, the West African DRA, in a public health crisis must not be so 
>stringent from using the drug once the efficiency of the drug has been 
>established to a great extent. WHO also seems to have taken the right step 
>to endorse the drug as early as possible to imporve the health of the 
>population of  West Africa.
>The unborn chidren do have the right to live an AIDS free life & any and 
>every effort to help with the same can be considered ethical especially in 
>the context of Africa.
>Regards,
