Abstract

Book Review Eric Kodish, Ethics and Research With Children . New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. In this book a diverse group of leading scholars from a range of disciplines discuss challenging cases in the f ield of paediatric research. This is most timely. Whilst there is, of course, significant literature on this subject, much of it antedates current developments and thinking. Fundamental questions about the morality of paediatric research persist. Most obviously, is it ever permissible to use a child as a means to an end? And, just as importantly, how much authority should parents have over decisions about research that wishes to involve their children? And, as we have come to accept the child, at least the older child, as a decision-maker, what should the role of such a child be in deciding whether or not to participate in research? Questions also arise as to whether children or their parents (or both) should be paid for par- ticipation in research. And most important of all is the question of how the twin goals of access to the benefits of clinical research and protection from research risk can be reconciled. The book is in three parts: research
