Exploitation and Developing Countries - The Ethics of Clinical Research

Zusatztext "The essays in this volume are uniformly strong, and those with an interest in the topic will profit from reading it cover to cover. On the whole, the book exhibits a firm command of the facts that pertain to international clinical research and an unusually high level of theoretical sophistication." ---Lynn A. Jansen, IRB: Ethics and Human Research Informationen zum Autor Jennifer S. Hawkins is assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto. Ezekiel J. Emanuel is chairman of the Department of Bioethics at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health. Klappentext "This is an outstanding contribution to the growing literature on the ethics of research with human subjects, and a fine example of what bioethics can offer at its best. Anyone with a serious interest in these issues will need to read this book from start to finish." --Daniel Wikler, Harvard School of Public Health "This book contributes significantly to the literature on exploitation in clinical research conducted in the developing world." --Patricia Marshall, Case Western Reserve University Zusammenfassung Exploitation is a concept in ordinary moral thought that has not often been analyzed outside the Marxist tradition. This work reflects on the meaning of exploitation, to ask whether and when clinical research in developing countries counts as exploitative, and to consider what can be done to minimize the possibility of exploitation.
