This is the second edition of a highly successful and well-received textbook on the responsible conduct of biomedical and health science research. It is aimed at faculty and graduate students in health science and biomedical science programs. In addition those on National Institute of Health research grants, administrators at universities, academic health centers, and medical and graduate schools will find the book a useful resource. The structure of the book remains the same as the first edition. Each chapter offers an overview together with important primary documents and case studies concerned with core ethical issues underlying responsible research. The major changes from the first edition include new chapters providing overviews of each topic, several new published articles added to the readings, revised case studies along with an essay on how they can be used, as well as further readings and web addresses that will serve as invaluable sources of reference.

Industry Reviews

'... the editors have selected high-quality essays, and the discussion questions that follow are uniformly insightful and provocative.' Isis ' ... a useful introduction to some of the ethical dilemmas facing research scientists ... a stimulating resource for anyone involved in biological research.' The Lancet 'This book will be of great value to all who are responsible for the education of biomedical scientists in the changing world, where the perception of science and scientists has changed.' The Pharos 'This book is a model of organization and content of a graduate course of ethics in the biological sciences. It is highly recommended not only for the personal library of a scientist or scientist-in-training but also for use in graduate ethics course for the biological scientist.' Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Annual
