الأخلاق على المحك.. حماية البشر في نظام البحث المعيب في كندا

This book exposes the human consequences of Canada's dysfunctional scientific research system. Canada's administrative framework for human subjects research is seriously flawed, potentially resulting in harm and suffering. Canadian researchers and research companies have been allowed to game the principle of informed consent, co-opt scientific research ethics committees with lax oversight, and violate the rights, safety and well-being of Canadians – including the most vulnerable – under the weight of an uncaring federal government unwilling to reform the system. In her book, “Ethics at Stake,” Janice E. Parente — who has led the fight for oversight and accountability of human-human research in Canada for three decades — tells readers about the dire consequences of the current flawed approach. It proposes a simple solution based on a sound and ethical management system, one that Canadians should insist on, and that Canadian legislators and research funders should embrace wholeheartedly.
