"The articles in this book are seminal contributions to research ethics thought, especially since they challenge numerous prevailing assumptions in research ethics scholarship." -- DOODY'S"Of the three main areas of research in applied ethics -- medical ethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics -- medical ethics has received the most sustained philosophical attention. But not all issues in medical ethics have received the same degree of philosophical scrutiny, and while much attention has been paid to ethical issues that concern the provision of medical care, comparatively little attention has been paid to ethical issues that arise inthe course of clinical research... There is thus much of value in The Ethical Challenges of Human Research, and it serves as a welcome corrective to the more usual bioethical focus on medical care." --James Stacey Taylor, The College of New Jersey, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
