Product description
The Honourable Justice Marshall brings his experience as both a judge and as a practising physician to this well-thought out examination of the ethics of experimenting with human research subjects. Looking at both the rights of research subjects and the responsibilities of the medico-research community, he recommends a return to the rule of law rather than reliance on the new bioethics now governing most human research projects.
Justice Marshall writes with both medical and legal professionals in mind. He provides an overview of human experimentation throughout history culminating with the abuses of Nazi Germany that led to the formulation of the Nuremberg Code. He argues that Canada's current research guidelines, influenced by both American guidelines and a new bioethical approach, have been moving away from the "rule of law" model for the last 20 years.
