Zusammenfassung:Hanlon and Shapiro discuss several ethical issues in biomedical research. In "Diaz v. Hillsborough County Hospital Authority," a group of approximately 5,000 pregnant women brought a class action claiming that while receiving prenatal care from the defendant hospital, they were subjected to research tests without being informed that the tests were for research and without being asked to consent. Settlement of the case included not only substantial payments to the individual women but also the hospital's agreement to change its research procedures.
