Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-evaluate the ethical questions raised regarding 1990s clinical trials in developing countries.
  • To assess the practicality and necessity of subsequent ethical recommendations and revisions.
  • To determine if proposed solutions address genuine ethical dilemmas or nonexistent issues.

Main Methods:
