"I was stunned by the depth, thoughtfulness, & sensitivity with which the complex issues of human research were discussed, a particularly, by the diversity of viewpoints expressed in this volume, which can only enrich the scholarship & protect more adequately the interests of subjects of research, on the one hand, & the claims of scientific progress, on the other. We should feel indebted to the editor, Harold Y. Vanderpool, & the authors he assembled. It is a book that must not only be read but also be reflected on in the waning years of the 20th Century & beyond."-- JAY KATZ, JD, ELIZABETH K. DOLLARD EMERITORIOUS PROFESSOR OF LAW, MEDICINE & PSYCHIATRY, YALE UNIVERSITY. "In the United States, the ethics of research of human subjects was one of the initiating events of bioethics. Professor Vanderpool has done us a distinct service by showing that the issues are still strong & alive, still complex, & still worthy of careful thought & analysis. A valuable book."--DANIEL CALLAHAN, PH.D., PRESIDENT OF HASTINGS CENTER. As its primary objective, this book seeks to make sense of an almost overwhelming body of literature & regulation on research ethics.
