Freedon of inquiry and subjects' rights: an introduction
D Reiss
The author introduces the Special Section papers to follow, pointing out
that two new issues have attached themselves to the issue of the physical
safety and civil dignity of human subjects. One new issue is an
emphatically legal defense of the concept of subjects' rights; the other is
the evolution of political characterizations and caricatures of many forms
of research.
