"Concise and extremely well-written. . . . A fascinating synthesis of sociology, history, and institutional theory."—Samuel C. Blackman, Journal of the American Medical Association Author Biography Sydney A. Halpern is professor of sociology and medical humanities at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is the author of American Pediatrics: The Social Dynamics of Professionalism, 1880-1920. Table of Contents Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction 1. The Origins of a Moral Logic of Risk 2. Negotiating Moral Boundaries: The Polio Vaccines of 1934-1935 3. Research Sponsors and the Culture of Risk 4. Formalizing Responses to Research Hazards 5. The Social Nature of Moral Action 6. Moral Traditions in an Era of Government Oversight Notes Selected Bibliography Index Review "In LesserHarms Sydney Halpern traces the evolution of moral codes for conducting medical research right back to the 18th century, from the informal pressures exerted by professional networks during the testing of live polio vaccines through to the strict formal rules laid down by bodies like the FDA for gene therapy trials. She shows how far we've come in protecting the people who volunteer for clinical trials, and demonstrates why it's still not far enough. . . . Medical ethicists, researchers, policy makers and historians should read it. Volunteers in future clinical trials will thank them."-- "New Scientist"The story told in Lesser Harms should . . . inspire researchers and regulators to renew discussions of why risk minimization is of paramount importance.--Adrienne Martic "Health Affairs""In this concise and extremely well-written volume, Dr. Halpern . . . examines the moral traditions that govern the introduction of new medical interventions before and after the advent of federal regulation. To trace this evolution and illustrate her assertions, she uses innovations in the field of vaccine research in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. . . . Lesser Harms, while most certainly a scholarly work, provides a perspective on medical science that would also be appreciated by a broad audience. It would most certainly be of interest to physicians, both clinical and laboratory scientists, and those who design and participate in any aspoect of human subjects research."--Samuel C. Blackman "Journal of the American Medical Association" (8/3/2005 12:00:00 AM) Review Quote "This is a fascinating and timely book that deserves the attention of anyone interested in the complex questions accompanying the ethics of medical research."-Jeffrey P.
