This textbook for instruction in biomedical research ethics can also serve as a
valuable reference for professionals in the field of bioethics. The 149 cases included in the book
are grouped in nine chapters, each of which covers a key area of debate in the field. Some of the
case studies are classics, including the famous cases of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (in which
subjects with syphilis were not given treatment) and the Willowbrook hepatitis studies (in which
institutionalized subjects were intentionally exposed to hepatitis). Others focus on such current
issues as human embryonic stem cell research, cloning by somatic nuclear transfer, and the design
and function of institutional review boards. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction that
places the issues raised in context; this is followed by a number of cases (each of which is no more
than a few pages). Study questions meant to encourage further discussion follow each case.After an
introductory discussion of the history and tenets of ethics in medical research, the book's chapters
cover the topics of oversight and study design; informed consent; the selection of subjects;
conflicts of interest; the social effects of research; embryos, fetuses, and children; genetic
research; the use of animals; and authorship and publication. Following these chapters are
appendixes with the texts of the Nuremburg Code and the World Declaration of Geneva, two key
documents in the establishment of bioethical standards for research. Also included are a glossary, a
table of cases by general category, and an alphabetical listing of cases.

The book was needed for school coursework. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Interesting bioethical case studies with thought provoking questions following each case.

I sat in as an auditor in a local college class and this is one of the books that was used. It is full of really good information that people should have about what is and is not "allowed" in the medical field.
