Ethical and Logistical Issues in Research: Human Subjects, Informed Consent, Researcher Integrity and Dissemination of Findings A research unit on the ethics of investigation that opens with the abuses of the 1940s - the freezing and sulphonamide experiments, the measurements taken on prisoners and the Japanese atrocities - and the codes those cases produced.
