More Details
- Summary:
- A panel of prominent representatives from the fields of medicine, government service, the judiciary, journalism, religion, and academe discuss the ethical ramifications of human experimentation in medical research. A hypothetical medical test of a new drug for the treatment of AIDS serves as the focus for the examination of such issues as the propriety of risking the life of one patient in order to save millions in the future and the use of placebos on victims of serious diseases.
