The book is filled with stories of people used as research subjects, sometimes without their knowledge, sometimes with ill-informed consent, sometimes because of their inability to understand (patients with mental illness) or resist (prisoners).
- Is there any justification for this?
- Were you aware of this history before reading the book?
- How is the informed consent and research practice in your home country?
- Do you think doctors and researchers of the past had a different basic view of people than they do today?
It would be a good idea to do some research online to get more information on this topic, and to add photos or links that are relevant to your blog post.
If you take information from websites, be careful and DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Be sure to use quotations or paraphrasing of the information and always cite the source at the end of the quotation or at the end of a paraphrased paragraph.
