What is Research on Human Subjects : Problems of Social Control in Medical Experimentation about?

How are human subjects treated in biomedical research? What are the expressed standards and self-reported behavior of biomedical researchers in regard to what has sometimes been called their'animal of necessity'? What are some of the determinants of the'strict'and'permissive'patterns which describe the standards and behavior of biomedical researchers? These are the important questions asked and answered in Research on Human Subjects. It is a book based on four years of intensive research. Two studies were completed, one on a nationally representative sample of biomedical research institutions, a second on a sample of 350 researchers who actually use human subjects. In their chapters on'the dilemma of science and therapy,'the authors look at the tension between the values of humane therapy and discovery in science. They show that the significant minority of researchers who are'permissive'on the issues of informed consent and a favorable risk-benefit ratio are more likely to be those who are'relative failures'in pursuing the science value. Research on Human Subjects also documents the inadequate training that biomedical researchers get in the ethics of research on human subjects not
