Medical research involving human subjects has contributed to
considerable advancements in our knowledge, and to medical
benefits. At the same time the development of new technologies as
well as further globalisation of medical research raises questions
that require the attention of researchers from a range of
disciplines. This book gathers the contributions of researchers
from nine different countries, who analyse recent developments in
medical research from ethical, historical, legal and socio-cultural
perspectives. In addition to reflections on innovations in science
such as genetic databases and the concept of "targeted therapy" the
book also includes analyses regarding the ethico-legal regulation
of new technologies such as human tissue banking or the handling of
genetic information potentially relevant for participants in
medical research. Country and culture-specific aspects that are
relevant to human medical research from a global perspective also
play a part. The value of multi- and interdisciplinary analysis
that includes the perspectives of scholars from normative and
empirical disciplines is a shared premise of each contribution.
