Summary
The ethical conduct of research has many components. New and difficult ethical questions arise as science advances and new technologies become available. This brief chapter just begins to give you an idea of some of the issues involved. Much more detailed information is available from various websites and NIH has an on-line course in protection of human subjects. Local IRB’s can you give you information and additional sources.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace. Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
