DR. HENRY K. BEECHER , of Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, states a personal view
What is the price of progress in medicine? If the subject ' consents ' to a medical experiment his consent may be valid, meaningless, or engineered. Experimentation is inescapable; the results may not always be happy. The situation calls for an informed public.
