Abstract:
Many commentators believe that all clinical-trial participants must receive a level of care equivalent to the world's best. Using HIV/AIDS research as an example, we show how this 'Uniform Care Requirement' can undermine biomedical research aimed at improving global health, and then we point towards a more rational and balanced approach to ethical assessment.
