The use of human subjects in biomedical research has increased
rapidly with scientific discoveries. However, the failure to
achieve the highest--or even adequate--standards of professional
moral concern and behavior is a serious side effect. Research on
Human Subjects is based on four years of intensive research in
which two studies were completed--one on a nationally
representative sample of biomedical research institutions, the
second on a sample of 350 researchers who actually used human
subjects. The authors explore prevalent ethical norms, the actual
ethical behavior of scientists, and the dilemma between the values
of humane therapy and scientific discovery. They document the
inadequate training that biomedical researchers receive in the
ethics of research on human subjects, not only in medical schools
but in post-graduate training as well. This landmark work makes
very specific suggestions for policy change and reform for the
biomedical research profession and its employment of human
subjects.
