Acknowledgments -- List of abbreviations -- Introduction -- The origins of a moral logic of risk -- Negotiating moral boundaries : the polio vaccines of 1934-1935 -- Research sponsors and the culture of risk -- Formalizing responses to research hazards -- The social nature of moral action -- Moral traditions in an era of government oversight -- Notes -- Selected bibliography -- Index.

Summary: Research physicians face intractable dilemmas when they consider introducing new medical procedures. Innovations carry the promise of preventing or curing life-threatening diseases, but they can also lead to injury or even death.

Today's scientists follow federal guidelines for research on human subjects developed during the 1960s and 1970s. But lo.
