84. Researcher ethnocentrism, rule-breaking, and subject inclusion. Guest, Rebecca Dresser.

Summary: Washington University law professor and bioethicist Rebecca Dresser joins us to discuss her latest book, Silent Partners: Human Subjects and Research Ethics. This scholarly yet in many ways acutely personal examination of the ethics surrounding human subjects research makes a powerful statement in favor of subject inclusion to counter balance what Dresser calls researcher ethnocentrism. Among fascinating topics we discuss are dealing with rule-breaking research subjects and the treatment of research subjects in fiction.
