First published in 1967, Human Guinea Pigs is a report by a
consultant physician on the implications of medical research on
both the medical profession and on the men, women and children who
are the subjects of medical experiments. It suggests that there are
limits to the permissibility of experiments on humans. It points
out how it has become a common occurrence for medical investigators
to take risks with patients of which the patients themselves are
frequently unaware, and to submit them to mental and physical
distress and possible hazards which in no way are necessitated by
or have connection with the treatment of the disease from which are
suffering. The author describes a number of experiments which, in
his opinion, raise important problems. In his view, medical
research must go on, but there must be acknowledged and observed
safeguards for patients. This book will be of interest to students
of medicine, ethics, law, politics and social work.
