Use of Humans in Research Case Study: A well-known AIDS researcher believes he has discovered a new and less expensive medication for the treatment of AIDS. He needs to conduct a clinical trial in which one group receives the medicine and one group does not. However, it would be illegal and unethical in many countries to withhold the standard treatment. He chooses to conduct the trial in a poor African nation where there is no legal standard of treatment. His rationale is that a new unknown treatment is better than no treatment at all.
