Ethics of clinical research in the developing world


Jack Killen, Christine Grady, Gregory K. Folkers & Anthony S. Fauci

Preface

Many commentators believe that all clinical-trial participants must receive a level of care equivalent to the world's best. Using HIV/AIDS research as an example, we show how this 'Uniform Care Requirement' can undermine biomedical research aimed at improving global health, and then we point towards a more rational and balanced approach to ethical assessment.
