Editorial Reviews

From The Critics
A textbook for a course now mandatory in programs funded by the National Institutes of Health for beginning graduate students who will be conducting research in the medical and biological sciences. Essays, readings, and questions are designed to stimulate thinking about ethical issues and implications, rather than to set out a strict set of rules. No date is noted for the first edition.
