At the heart of research with human beings is the moral notion that
the experimental subject is altruistic, and is primarily concerned
for the welfare of others. Beneath the surface, however, lies a
very different ethical picture. Individuals participating in
potentially life-saving research sometimes take on considerable
risks to their own well-being. Efforts to safeguard human
participants in clinical trials have intensified ever since the
first version of the World Medical Association's Declaration of
Helsinki (1964) and are now codified in many national and
international laws and regulations. However, a comprehensive
understanding of how this cornerstone document originated, changed,
and functions today does not yet exist in the sphere of human
research. Ethical Research brings together the work of leading
experts from the fields of bioethics, health and medical law, the
medical humanities, biomedicine, the medical sciences, philosophy,
and history. Together, they focus on the centrality of the
Declaration of Helsinki to the protection of human subjects
involved in experimentation in an increasingly complex industry and
in the government-funded global research environment. The volume's
historical and contemporary perspectives on human research address
a series of fundamental questions: Is our current human protection
regime adequately equipped to deal with new ethical challenges
resulting from advances in high-tech biomedical science? How
important has the Declaration been in non-Western regions, for
example in Eastern Europe, Africa, China, and South America? Why
has the bureaucratization of regulation led to calls to pay greater
attention to professional responsibility? Ethical Research offers
insight into the way in which philosophy, politics, economics, law,
science, culture, and society have shaped, and continue to shape,
the ideas and practices of human research.
