Sick or Sinner? An Ethical Dilemma that Changes with the Times.
The work of the family physician is occasionally enlivened by an unusual patient problem. The particular episode described and discussed in this case report called into question the moral and ethical standards of both medicine and society. Issues of responsibility for unacceptable behaviour by an individual are examined within an historical context, and the reader is left to ponder his or her own answer to the questions raised.
