Reviews
Some omissions are so obvious it takes a special person to see them. An authority on medical ethics and someone who has suffered and recovered from a serious illness, no one is in a better position than Rebecca Dresser to identify the absence of the research subject's voice in clinical trials. Her sometimes painfully honest and always intellectually acute analysis opens up a new conversation about the way we conduct human experiments. - Jonathan Moreno, David and Lyn Silfen University Professor of Ethics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Rebecca Dresser has for years been a leading legal and ethical scholar on human subject research. Building on her own experience as a cancer survivor, her book is a powerful and forceful argument to give human subjects themselves a central role in the research, particularly as new kinds of medical research, as with genetics, come to the fore. She makes her case with a sharp eye for nuance and troublesome dilemmas, adding to the power of the book. - Daniel Callahan, President Emeritus, The Hastings Center Some omissions are so obvious it takes a special person to see them.
