Exposing the human consequences of Canada’s broken research system.
The governance framework for human research in Canada is dangerously
flawed and has the potential to lead to harm and suffering.
Canadian researchers and research companies have been allowed
to flirt with informed consent; “forum shop” for less restrictive ethical
oversight; and violate the rights, safety, and welfare of Canadians —
including those in situations of vulnerability — under the indifferent eye
of a federal government unwilling to fix the system.
In Ethics on Trial, Janice E. Parente — who has led the fight for
oversight and accountability of human research in Canada for three
decades — shows readers the devastating consequences of the current
flawed approach. She proposes a simple solution that embraces a good
and ethical system of governance — a system that Canadians should
insist on and Canada’s lawmakers and research funders should wholeheartedly adopt.
