Description
This textbook provides a brief history of human experimentation and reviews various theories of ethics from which the principles and rules that govern this research are derived. All relevant international documents and national regulations, policies and memoranda are referred to extensively to assist in addressing issues that regularly arise during the course of research involving human subjects. Extensive case examples and exercises for discussion are presented throughout the text to challenge the reader to devise creative strategies for the integration of science, ethics and, where relevant, law. This volume will be of interest to both students and experienced researchers who design, conduct and disseminated findings using human subjects in their research.

Error filled - skip it
This is a disappointing book geared toward teachers and students of medical research ethics. Glaring errors of fact riddle the chapter on the history of research and human experimentation. Bibliographic references are missing in some instances making it difficult for readers to find supporting documentation. The author has the disturbing tendency to omit in the text the first name of many individuals mentioned or cited in the book. For example, a reference to Senator Kennedy is not particularly clear unless you are aware that the Senator being quoted was the only Senator Kennedy who was alive in 1973. For the many college and university students born after 1973 this much background should not be assumed.It is very surprising that a textbook or research ethics published in 2000 does not include in its index listings for genes, genetics, abortion, embryos, fetuses or pregnant women.
The "Exercises" are inane fabrications.
The index should be an embarrassment to the publisher as is the layout of the book which has no page headers.
