Beskrivning
This book analyses the major issues of research ethics through a careful review of the treatment in official policies on research ethics developed throughout the world (especially North America, Western Europe, and the Pacific Rim). Among the issues covered are animal research, research on human subjects, epidemiological research, genetic research, reproductive research, research on vulnerable subjects, clinical trials, drug approval and the reserch process, and research on women and minorities. Brody also evaluates the content and the methods of developing these policies in light of his philosophical position of pluralistic casuistry. This is the only book that analyses all the major issues in research ethics. It is the only book which deals with these issues from an international perspective rather than just a US perspective. Major official policies from important research-intensive countries are reprinted in the appendix (close to 200 plates of otherwise difficult material).

"The author's unique analysis provides an original contribution to the literature and should be read by anyone interested in the philosophical principles that guide biomedical research and by those involved in the development of guidelines and policies. For those who participate in research involving humans or animals and for anyone involved in multinational research, this book should be kept readily available as an important resource."--The New EnglandJournal of Medicine"...the first time this material has been brought together, it must be considered an important contribution to the literature itself."--The Journal of the American Medical Association"This informative book offers a superb comparative ethico-legal analysis of international biomedical research policies.... This book is appropriate for all persons concerned with ethics in biomedical research, and is especially useful for those with an interest in comparative bio-policy."--Religious Studies ReviewThis is a book where I strongly recommend to a broad audience of readers. Written by the well-known American bioethicist Baruch Brody, it summarizes the results of more than a decade of research. To conclude, Brody's book is a most valuable contribution to biochemical research ethics and bioethics. It provokes philosophical inquiry about the meaning of research policies in particular, and moral reasoning in general. It also provides an unprecedentedinternational perspective as well as an illuminating and critical analysis of the specific problems of biomedical research. These features makes this book one of the most promising in the field of researchethics.--Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy"...identifies and summarizes the evolution of policies and emerging issues in research ethics...useful resource...could be used as a core text for the human subjects portion of a research ethics class...discusses a wide range of policies."--Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and LawVol 25, No. 5, Oct. 2000"...a good volume...will acquaint a North American readership with hard to find and useful resources."--Hastings Center Report
