Abstract
Clinical trials create both legal and ethical concerns, many of which overlap. This chapter focuses on informed consent of human research subjects, participation of special populations in medical research, medical research involving the mentally incapacitated, the use of placebos in human subject research, confidentiality of subject information, conflicts of interest in clinical trials, and research review committees.
