The Ethics of Medical Research on Humans Book

In this even-handed book, Clare Foster examines the three main approaches to moral decision-making: goal-based, duty-based and rights-based. She also looks at the problematic boundaries where best practice ends and experimentation begins. Is it ethical to experiment with new cures on people who are probably dying anyway? And how do you assess quality of consent? This book provides a thorough, non-partisan grounding in what the ethical principles are, what informs them, and how they can be applied. It will be essential reading for all medical decision-makers.Read More
