Book Review: Dark Medicine: Rationalizing Unethical Medical Research (Bioethics and the Humanities)

September 10, 2008

“Where does one set the limits on research involving human subjects?” This fundamental question is addressed by a remarkable collection of essays in Dark Medicine: Rationalizing Unethical Medical Research. Framed by the belief that unethical research is not simply a problem of the past, Dark Medicine lends thoughtful historical context to the discussion of modern-day dilemmas. The result is a unique fusion of philosophy, religion, history, and bioethics. (JAMA)
