History of research: successes, failures and misuses

• In most of the cases the misuses happened on vulnerable populations

• The medical research where these populations were misused was conducted by physicians.

Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965)

“Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. That is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.”
