The Conversation has run a seven-article series from different authors discussing some of the history, politics and philosophical underpinnings of ethically questionable medical research. Topics include, “How black slaves were routinely sold as ‘specimens’ to ambitious white doctors,” “Is it ethical to use data from Nazi medical experiments?” and “How national security gave birth to bioethics.”
All of the articles can be found at the link below.
