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.
Major virtue of the book is that the author supplies numerous real examples of a wide range of questionable research conduct to illustrate her general points. . . . provides probably the best overarching treatment of research ethics to date . . . a valuable treatise.
