The papers from the 2000 symposium of the Royal Society of
Canada explore the crucial relationship between science and ethics.
In the six papers, presented by scholars and practitioners in
fields as varied as psychiatry, law, philosophy, and ethics, the
contributors address the central place of ethics in scientific
policy, research, and practice.
Historic decisions like the place of the 1947 Nuremberg Code,
adopted by the International War Crimes Tribunal to establish the
foundational ethical principals of research involving human
subjects; contemporary policy concerning, and institutional
responsibility for, the protection of human subjects; science,
technology, and copyright laws in Canada; xenotransplantation (the
process of grafting living cells, tissues, and organs from animals
to human beings);the privatization of biomedical research; and the
relationship between ethics, policies, and research experts: these
are the topics under discussion in this timely collection of
papers.
