Should All Research Subjects Be Treated the Same?

One of the founding principles of research ethics is that subjects should be treated equally. In the words of the Belmont Report, 'equals ought to be treated equally.' This principle does not imply that all subjects should be treated exactly the same. Rather, subjects who are similar in relevant res...

Subjects should not receive greater resources simply because they are famous. A more challenging question, one that pervades clinical research yet has received almost no attention in the literature, is whether subjects' level of scientific importance is relevant to determining how much support they should receive..
