Ethics of Scientific Research

Kristin Sharon Shrader-Frechette, O'Neill Professor of Philosophy and Concurrent Professor of Biological Science Kristin Shrader-Frechette — 1994

Challenging long-held theories of scientific rationality and remoteness, Kristin Shrader-Frechette argues that research cannot be 'value free.' Rather, any research will raise important moral issues for those involved, issues not only of truthfulness but of risk to research subjects, third parties, and the general public.
