This book reprints Human Guinea Pigs, by Kenneth Mellanby, a
seminal work in the history of medical ethics and human subject
research that has been nearly unavailable for over 40 years.
Detailing the use of World War II conscientious objectors who
volunteered for experimentation on scabies transmission, Mellanby's
book offers insight into one approach to human subject
experimentation before the development of ethical oversight
regulations. His work was initially published prior to the
articulation of the Nuremberg Code, which makes his subsequent
position as a reporter for the British Medical Journal at the
Nuremberg Trials very interesting, particularly given his sometimes
controversial opinions on Nazi medical experimentation. This book
reprints the second edition together with commentary essays that
situate Mellanby's ethical approach in historical context and
relative to contemporary approaches. This volume is of particular
interest to scholars of the history of human subject research.
This volume brings together a set of critical essays on the thought
of Professor Doctor H. Tristram Engelhardt Junior, Co-Founding
Editor of the Philosophy and Medicine book series. Amongst the
founders of bioethics, Professor Engelhardt, Jr. looms large. Many
of his books and articles have appeared in multiple languages,
including Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese. The
essays in this book focus critically on a wide swath of his work,
in the process elucidating, critiquing, and/or commending the rigor
and reach of his thought. This volume compasses analyses of many
different aspects of Engelhardt's work, including social and
political philosophy, biopolitics, the philosophy of medicine, and
bioethics. It brings together internationally known scholars to
assess key elements of Engelhardt's work.
