What is the odd one out and why?
a) £18,000b) HIV and the
NHSc) HIV in a poor
African country
• C) because in Britain, a person with HIV can be given drugs (costing about £18,000 per year) to prolong their survival rate, whereas in many parts of Africa, there isn’t the money available (plus it is often thought of as a “taboo” illness)

HIV / AIDS
• Human• Immunodeficiency• Virus• ----------------------• Acquired• Immuno• Deficiency• Syndrome
• LO
• Work as a team• Have good reasons
for opinions and choices
• You will be working out a social and moral dilemma!
J Franklin, AST Nth Lincs.
Before you start!
• You will be working towards the CoPE competency skill of being able to work with others (see P4 of your CoPE booklet)
• With teacher guidance, you’ll need to fill in the planning sheet before you start and then you’ll need to evaluate how you did

Task
• A new drug has just been found which will stop people from dying from HIV / AIDS (although it works more immediately if the person is still at the HIV stage)
• Your health authority has been given 2 doses. You now need to decide who you are going to save (out of the 7) and be able to (as a group) explain WHY you chose the 2 you did to live and the others to eventually die
J Franklin, AST Nth Lincs.
3 months later
• You have now been given another 3 doses of the drug, so can now save another 3 people out of the 5 left. 2 will therefore be left to die.
• However, the relations of the 2 you HAVEN’T chosen threaten to sue you. You need to make up a group statement to be read out to the class why you a) Chose the 3 you did and didn’t choose the 2 you chose not to. You will need sympathetic language and aim it at the relations
